[0042] ​It should be noted that the steering engine 5 in the embodiment of the present application adopts a micro serial bus digital steering engine, which is small in mass and volume, and is directly installed on the palm of the dexterous hand, so that the kinetic energy loss of the tendon due to long distance transmission can be greatly reduced, and the dexterous hand has higher sensitivity; the cylindrical pin 4 is used to connect the individual knuckles of the fingers, so as to ensure the stability of the transmission between the joints; the longitudinal arched curved surface structure is used for the shape of the palm, which conforms to the shape of the human hand and ensures that the movement of the steering engine 5 in the palm does not interfere with the hand movement.
