Robotic finger and hand

A robotic hand comprising:

• a palm housing defining a cavity;
• a plurality of hydraulic actuators positioned in cavity;
• and
• a plurality of robotic fingers coupled to the hydraulic actuators, wherein each robotic finger comprises:
• a first member having a plurality of rigid sections that are rotatably connected end-to-end through respective first joints, wherein each first joint connects two rigid sections such that the two rigid sections rotate about the same axis;
• a second member having a plurality of flexible sections that are connected end-to-end at respective second joints;
• a plurality of linkages connecting the first member and the second member so as to align the plurality of flexible sections with the plurality of rigid sections side-by-side, wherein a respective linkage connects a respective first joint of the first member to a respective second joint of the second member;
• and
• a fingertip section that connects a distal end the first member to a distal end of the second member.
