Abstract

An anthropomorphic five-fingered hand, the Anthrobot-2, is described. It features anatomical consistency with a human hand, giving it special advantages during teleoperation. Each finger has four joints as in the human hand: two at the knuckle, one between the proximal and middle finger segments, and one between the middle and distal finger segments. The thumb has four degrees of freedom, allowing it to emulate human thumb motion. The controlling hardware and the kinematic analysis, including forward and inverse kinematics, are presented. Future research is discussed.
