  • Abstract
    ISR-Softhand is a novel under-actuated self contained anthropomorphic robotic hand which takes advantage of elastic joints and soft pads. The integrated compliance in the hand´s joint allows for a very good adaptability to a wide range of objects. It can achieve the top ten grasps with highest frequency of usage by humans, with only three actuators.
