Hand II

Overview

The DLR Hand II is an anthropomorphic dexterous grasping and manipulation system. It consists of four identical fingers with four joints and three degrees of freedom each, along with an additional degree of freedom in the palm for stable grasping or fine manipulation. It integrates an actuation system, sensors, and communication electronics, providing flexibility for different robots. Its design mimics a human hand, allowing it to grasp and manipulate a variety of objects in unknown environments, making it suitable for use in humanoid robots like Rollin' Justin.
