  • Abstract
    This paper outlines the 2nd generation of multisensory hand design at DLR, based on the results of the DLR Hand I we analysed. An open skeleton structure for better maintenance with semi-shell housing and the new automatically reconfigurable palm have been equipped with more powerful actuators to reach 30 N on the fingertip. The newly designed sensors as the 6-DOF fingertip force torque sensor, the integrated electronics and the new communication architecture with a reduction of cabling to the hand to only 12 lines, are outlined. The Cartesian impedance control of all the fingers completes the new 13-DOF hand.
