  • Robotic hand with slip couplings
    Patent number: 4715638
    Abstract: A robotic hand consisting of one or more jointed fingers each formed from a number of link elements. A torque control is supplied for each element so that undue pressure is not exerted by any link element on an object being gripped. The invention provides an electromechanical simulation of a human hand, flexing to encompass objects rather than impinging against them.
