DLR Robot Hand

Overview

The DLR Robot Hand is a rugged and dextrous robotic hand capable of withstanding significant impact while maintaining precision. It features 19 degrees of freedom, 38 synthetic tendons for movement, and can adjust its stiffness for various tasks. This makes it capable of precise movements while being robust enough to withstand strikes from objects like hammers and baseball bats.
