ABSTRACT:
A robot hand and a robot using it are provided. The robot hand has a finger-tip tactile sensor device, a palm tactile sensor device, and a tip contact force detecting device. Among them, the finger-tip tactile sensor device 10 has an elastic cap 14, in which a cavity 15 is formed with an opening 17a at a base end. The cavity is filled up with an incompressible fluid. A pressure detector 16 is inserted into the opening 17a of the cavity 17, and a holding member 18 holds the elastic cap 14 and the pressure detector 16. The holding member 18 is swingably mounted on a finger 1 of robot hand through a joint 2. When the elastic cap 14 contacts with an object, the contact pressure is detected through the incompressible fluid by the pressure detector 16.
