“…Moreover, their hands must ensure a high level of comfort, safety, and robustness. Examples of robotic hands designed or adapted to assist sick or elderly people or people with disabilities include the DLR/HIT (Harbin Institute of Technology) Hand II (103), Fluidic Hand (220), Human-Like Artificial Hand (87), and SCCA (Self-Contained Compliant Anthropomorphic) Hand (177). Figure 2a shows one of the most famous examples of the application of hands in this field: the DLR/HIT Hand II, used in combination with the DLR Lightweight Robot arm to assist a disabled person in a daily living task (221).…”

This article reports on the state of the art of artificial hands, discussing some of the field's most important trends and suggesting directions for future research. We review and group the most important application domains of robotic hands, extracting the set of requirements that ultimately led to the use of simplified actuation schemes and soft materials and structures—two themes that clearly emerge from our examination of developments over the past century. We provide a comprehensive analysis of novel technologies for the design of joints, transmissions, and actuators that enabled these trends. We conclude by discussing some important new perspectives generated by simpler and softer hands and their interaction with other aspects of hand design and robotics in general.

“…The three-DOF base of the thumb is placed 90° to the middle joint for opposition movement. The same actuation system is used in later Fluidhand versions with an advanced microhydraulic system (Kargov et al, 2007).…”

The Role of Morphology of the Thumb in Anthropomorphic Grasping: A Review

et al. 2017

The unique musculoskeletal structure of the human hand brings in wider dexterous capabilities to grasp and manipulate a repertoire of objects than the non-human primates. It has been widely accepted that the orientation and the position of the thumb plays an important role in this characteristic behavior. There have been numerous attempts to develop anthropomorphic robotic hands with varying levels of success. Nevertheless, manipulation ability in those hands is to be ameliorated even though they can grasp objects successfully. An appropriate model of the thumb is important to manipulate the objects against the fingers and to maintain the stability. Modeling these complex interactions about the mechanical axes of the joints and how to incorporate these joints in robotic thumbs is a challenging task. This article presents a review of the biomechanics of the human thumb and the robotic thumb designs to identify opportunities for future anthropomorphic robotic hands.
