Abstract
A robot hand is configured such that a plurality of finger mechanisms are disposed on base and operate so as to cause fingertip portions thereof to get close to each other and separate from each other. At least one of the plurality of finger mechanisms is constituted by a Chebychev link mechanism including a driving link configured to be rotated about a base end portion thereof supported by the base, a driven link having a base end portion coupled to the base so as to be swingable, and an intermediate link having a base end portion coupled to a tip end portion of the driving link so as to be swingable and a center portion coupled to a tip end portion of the driven link so as to be swingable. The fingertip portions are respectively provided at tip end portions of the intermediate links.
