Anthropomorphic robotic hands: a review

Abstract

"This paper presents a review on main topic regarding to anthropomor - phic robotic hands developed in the last years, taking into account the more important mechatronics designs submit on the literature, and ma - king a comparison between them. The next chapters deepen on level of anthropomorphism and dexterity in advanced actuated hands and upper limbs prostheses, as well as a brief overview on issues such as grasping, transmission mechanisms, sensory and actuator system, and also a short introduction on under-actuated robotic hands is reported."
