This technology is a robotic hand that mimics the bending, rotating, and tilting movements of a human finger using a flexible base, side connectors, and rolling-contact joint links.
Conventional rigid robotic hands struggle to adapt flexibly when grasping irregular objects, and force/position control methods often lead to increased hardware complexity and weight.
This technology introduces a flexible first base and side connectors to provide the rod links with degrees of freedom for tilting, while utilizing wire tension and a rolling-contact joint structure. This allows for the implementation of thumb rotation and complex bending motions of the finger links with a simple design. It can be applied to prosthetic hands, service robots, and logistics gripping devices. Its flexible structure enables it to adapt to irregular objects while achieving a lightweight design, significantly broadening its range of applications.
