Abstract
In this paper, the innovative design of a robotic hand with soft jointed structure is carried out and a tendon-driven mechanism, a master-slave motor coordinated drive mechanism, a thumb coupling transmission mechanism and a thumb steering mechanism are proposed. These innovative designs allow for more effective actuation in each finger, enhancing the load capacity of the robotic hand while maintaining key performance indicators such as dexterity and adaptability. A mechanical model of the robotic finger was made to determine the application limitations and load capacity. The robotic hand was then prototyped for a set of experiments. The experimental results showed that the proposed theoretical model were reliable. Also, the fingertip force of the robotic finger could reach up to 10.3 N, and the load force could reach up to 72.8 N. When grasping target objects of different sizes and shapes, the robotic hand was able to perform the various power grasping and precision grasping in the Cutkosky taxonomy. Moreover, the robotic hand had good flexibility and adaptability by means of adjusting the envelope state autonomously.
