  • Patent number: 10518420
    Abstract: A finger of a robotic hand includes a phalanx portion including two phalanxes rotatably coupled to each other, one of the two phalanxes being rotatable about a rotation axis with respect to the other one of the two phalanxes; and a stopper structure including a first stopper member connected to the one of the two phalanxes and a second stopper member connected to the other one of the two phalanxes. The first stopper member extends around the rotation axis, and a circumferential space is defined between the first stopper member and the second stopper member and allowing the first stopper member to rotate together with the one of the two phalanxes in a predetermined range.
