Abstract
A hand intended for a humanoid robot comprises a palm and at least one finger articulated to the palm, the finger comprising at least one phalanx and an articulation linking the phalanx to the palm, the phalanx extending in a main direction. According to the invention, the articulation comprises an elastic joining piece allowing several degrees of freedom. The hand comprises motorization means for a degree of freedom in rotation out of the degrees of freedom made possible by the joining piece, the motorized degree of freedom in rotation allowing a relative movement about an axis at right angles to the main direction of the phalanx. The other degrees of freedom out of the degrees of freedom made possible by the joining piece are not motorized.
