ABSTRACT:
An artificial hand device, particularly for use in robotics, comprises an assembly of substantially parallel pins mounted on a carrier so that the free ends of pins pressed against a given object may move axially to conform to the profile of the object. Means to move lateral surfaces of the pins laterally allows the device to grip the object. Means to detect pin position allows sensing of the shape of the object.
