Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a linkage-tendon hybrid driven anthropomorphic robotic hand, i.e. MCR-Hand II. Structure design of the proposed robotic hand is presented and kinematics of the linkage and tendon driven based fingers is formulated. Then, workspace of the robotic hand is characterised and thumb opposability is investigated. Further, prototype of the robotic hand is developed, tested and evaluated.
