Abstract

This paper introduces the structure design of a rigid-flexible composite three-finger dexterous hand. It is based on flexible tendon drive and rigid link drive, combing the advantages of rigidity—large output force, high precision and flexibility—simple structure, safety, lightweight. In addition, it has a changeable palm which can increase the working space of this hand. After doing simulation analysis, we make a physical prototype and conduct a series of experiment. Afterwards, to address its problems that have been exposed, we optimize and improve, and then design the second-generation rigid-flexible composite three-finger dexterous hand with a more flexible palm.
