Abstract

In order to simplify assembly of a robot hand to a robot arm, the invention is a device for driving a robot hand on a robot arm having a plurality of cardan shafts with which the cardan shafts are borne at their ends distant from the hand on a bearing plate which can be displaced relative to the robot arm.
