Abstract
The paper outlines DLR’s new 4-finger hand characterized by the fact that all 12 active joints (3 for each finger) are integrated into the fingers or the palm. With 112 sensors, around 1000 mechanical and around 1500 electrical components the new hand is one of the most complex robot hands ever built. Its key element is the „artificial muscle ®“ a small but powerful linear actuator, which seems to be one of the first real electromechanical alternatives to hydraulic or pneumatic actuators.
