Abstract

The construction of an artificial hand able to reproduce the functions of the human hand has never been of interest in industrial robotics. Now it is a must in humanoid robotics. In the paper we will illustrate the structure of the human hand and propose a choice of materials and actuators that can reproduce it. The design, the complete model and the prototype are also presented. The basic controller for the fingers is illustrated.
