Abstract
This paper proposes a design concept for a novel robotic hand with a metamorphic palm mechanism. A design inspiration is elaborated from laboratory experiences on human grasping. The proposed design is presented with concepts and kinematic design that is based on linkages. A design model has been implemented in SolidWorks environment for a performance evaluation. Results are presented to show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed solution.
