Abstract
Provided is a robot hand that is capable of gripping an object and manipulating the gripped object in a manner similar to that of a human hand, and that makes it possible to reduce the number of actuators. This robot hand is provided with: a first actuator (31) that imparts driving force to a first finger link (11) so that the first finger link (11) pivots relative to a base section (1); and a second actuator (32) that imparts driving force to at least one of a second finger link (12) and a third finger link (13) so that the second finger link (12) pivots relative to the first finger link (11) and the third finger link (13) pivots relative to the second finger link (12).
