As a new type of end effector of robots, dexterous hands are an important topic in robot research, and research progress has accelerated at home and abroad in recent years.

Dexterous hands are a new type of end effector of robots. Generally speaking, the ways in which robots interact with the environment mainly include: moving and walking, obtaining information such as vision, and executing and outputting decisions. End effector is a general term for the robot's execution parts. It is generally installed at the end of the robot's wrist and is a device that directly executes tasks. As the last link and execution part of the interaction between the robot and the environment, the end effector plays an extremely important role in improving the flexibility and ease of use of the robot. The quality of its performance largely determines the working performance of the entire robot.

The dexterous hand of a humanoid robot is a special end effector designed based on the kinematics of the human hand. Unlike the end effector of an industrial robot, which has poor versatility and can only complete specific tasks such as welding and painting, the dexterous hand has universal grasping capabilities. The basic feature is that it has at least 3 fingers, each finger has at least 3 degrees of freedom whose axes are not completely parallel, and usually integrates multiple sensors such as force perception and proximity perception.

Multi-fingered dexterous hand: The mechanism is multi-finger and multi-joint, and the most common is 3 to 5 fingers, each finger has 3 joints, and the kinematic pairs of the finger joints are all revolute pairs. The main driving methods of dexterous hands include 4 types: hydraulic drive, motor drive, pneumatic drive, and shape memory alloy drive. For example, the Okada dexterous hand of Japan's "Electronic Technology Laboratory", the Stanford/JPL dexterous hand successfully developed by Stanford University in the United States, and the Utah/MIT dexterous hand jointly developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Utah.

The humanoid robot multi-fingered dexterous hand has received continuous R&D investment and widespread attention because it can imitate the various dexterous grasping and complex operation capabilities of human hands. From the perspective of application fields, the fields where dexterous hands have achieved mature applications are mainly medical and industrial fields.The report statistic scope is Multi-fingered dexterous hands (above three fingers, including three fingers, four fingers and five fingers types) for humanoid robots. The data analysis is beginning 2024.
