A robotic hand is often associated with an anthropomorphic design due to its resemblance in terms of shape, size, and overall appearance. Anthropomorphism is thus linked to observable external properties and does not, in itself, serve as a measure of the hand’s functional capabilities. To assess these capabilities, we will draw on other concepts discussed below, such as dexterity.

We’ll start by introducing the concept of a robotic hand.

A robotic hand is a mechatronic device designed to mimic the functions and movements of the human hand. Among the functions it mimics are: adaptive object grasping that takes into account the physical interaction...
