Abstract

A novel underactuated finger mechanism was designed. Finger mechanism was incorporated into a humanoid robot hand to obtain more degrees of freedom with less actuators and good grasping functions with shape adaptation, therefore decreasing the requirements for the control system. A novel superunderactuated multifingered hand (TH-2 Hand) for a humanoid robot was designed based on a previous underactuated finger mechanism. The TH-2 Hand was attached to a humanoid robot because of its high personification, superunderactuation, compactness, easy real-time control, small volume, light weight, and strong grasping function.
