Bill of Materials

This page has two sections, Gripper and UMI Robot Wrist, and download links for all their files. Part numbers follow the UMI V4 convention.

Tip: hover over (or tap) an underlined part name to preview its reference image.

Vendor links go to third-party websites, and purchases are made directly with those sellers. NVIDIA receives no commission from them. Product photos of purchased parts belong to their vendors and are not covered by this site’s CC BY 4.0 license.

Gripper

Quantities are for one gripper. Step 21 builds the second gripper of the pair, so double everything for a pair.

3D-printed parts

Print the fingers from finger.3mf and everything else from UMI Open Source Printed Parts.3mf, except the gear, which you add as STL files (print step 4). The STL files are the same parts on their own; hover over an STL link to see its file name.

Note Qty is the number of single screws or nuts one gripper needs, not the number of packs. Each McMaster link is a pack of 100 screws, so one pack covers every row: a Qty of 14 means 14 screws, which is 1 pack, not 1,400 screws. The Amazon nut links are multi-packs too, so 1 pack of each size is enough.

Hex socket head cap screws to ISO 4762 / DIN 912; hex nuts to ISO 4032.

Totals: 29 M3 screws, 21 M3 nuts, 15 M2 screws and 11 M2 nuts, without the VIVE option. The optional VIVE tracker mount (step 18) needs another 4 M3 x 12 mm screws and 4 M3 nuts. Step 11 can use the Phillips screws supplied with the heatsink instead of 4 of the M2 x 8 mm screws.
