Abstract
A robot hand is provided, the robot hand including three finger sections, a supporting section which supports a proximal end of each of the three finger sections, and a circumferential movement section which circumferentially moves a second finger section and a third finger section of the three finger sections about a position where the three finger sections are supported on the supporting section is provided. The circumferentially moving second finger section and third finger section are circumferentially movable in a range of 180 degrees or greater in a circumferential direction substantially around a hand axis of the robot hand, about the position where the three finger sections are supported on the supporting section.
Claims11
A robot hand comprising:
- three or more finger sections;
- a supporting section which supports a proximal end of each of the three or more finger sections;
- and
- a circumferential movement section which circumferentially moves at least two or more of the finger sections in a range of 180 degrees or greater in a circumferential direction about a position where the finger sections are supported on the supporting section,
- wherein the circumferential movement section has a finger rotation axis which is connected to each of the two or more finger sections and a power section which transmits a rotational power to the finger rotation axis, wherein the power section is arranged below the supporting section and at a basal part of the robot hand.
A robot apparatus comprising:
- a robot hand;
- and
- a multi-axis arm;
- wherein the robot hand includes three or more finger sections, a supporting section which supports a proximal end of each of the three or more finger sections, and a circumferential movement section which circumferential moves at least two or more of the finger sections in a range of 180 degrees or greater in a circumferential direction about a position where the finger sections are supported on the supporting section
- wherein the circumferential movement section has a finger rotation axis which is connected to each of the two or more finger sections and a power section which transmits a rotational power to the finger rotation axis, wherein the power section is arranged below the supporting section and at a basal part of the robot hand.
