Abstract
The paper presents a theoretical study about the gripping of an underactuated tendon driver finger. The studies presented in the paper have been performed to analyse the capability of the proposed device to apply forces on the grasped object and to analyse the behaviour of the contact actions during the grasping. The analysis of two models is reported and the results of simulations are shown. The obtained results show a good efficiency of the designed finger.
