From adaptive grasping to dexterous manipulation
Robotic hands to increase the flexibility of robots

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.
