Abstract :
This paper presents a newly developed kinetic humanoid hand with high potential for dexterous manipulation. High-power compact brushless motors that contribute to downsizing of the humanoid hand and a distributed tactile sensor with 895 detecting points have also been developed. Moreover, in order to downsize robots, a hardwire-saving control system using a technique of spread spectrum communication is investigated
