Abstract
This paper deals with the human hand prehension, in planar and spatial configurations. A three points contact in the plane and a five points contact in the space are sufficient to ensure a prehension of an object of generic shape. The paper, whose results may be extended over the mechanical field, demonstrates that the human hand fulfils the most simple and optimal mechanical system for prehension with automatic control, that nature gives.
