A Biologically Inspired Dexterous Robot Hand with High Grip Force [PDF]

한국정밀공학회지, 2019
This paper presents a robot hand inspired from grasp and grip mechanism of human hand. In human hand, grasp and grip are different terms: Human hand can grasp an object adaptively by individual pulling of each finger’s tendon.
