Abstract

This paper proposes a theoretical approach related to the kinematic issues of dexterous robotic hands. A new anthropomorphic robotic hand is presented in the first part, while in the second part of this paper the authors present a general method which allows fast and easy computations in order to find the solution(s) of the direct and inverse kinematic problem for this hand
