Orca Hand grasp performance sometimes degrades for a very physical reason: fingertip material wears down, friction changes, and suddenly the same control policy no longer feels stable.

How are you diagnosing fingertip wear and grasp slip on Orca Hand over time?

Please share how you inspect surface wear, decide when to replace contact material, and separate hardware friction changes from control or thresholding issues.

If you reply, include one exact slip symptom and one exact maintenance or material change that improved consistency.

Comment 1

The best replies will say how slip changed over time, not just that it happened. Searchers often need the wear pattern, not the headline.

Comment 2

If a simple replacement or inspection schedule solved your issue, share it. Maintenance answers are often the most reusable ones.

Comment 3

It is also valuable to explain how you ruled out policy or threshold problems before changing the hardware surface.
