The five-fingered dexterous hand according to claim 4, characterized in that, The little finger module (13) is also provided with a flipping component (50) at the connection between it and the palm. The little finger module (13) and the palm are connected by the flipping component (50) to rotate back and forth. The flipping component (50) is driven by the tendon rope (46) to achieve the flipping.

8. The five-fingered dexterous hand according to claim 2, characterized in that, The wrist module (2) includes a support base (21) and a wrist base (22), the support base (21) being connected to the arm module (3); the wrist base (22) being connected to the palm module (1); The linear module includes a first motion branch (51), a second motion branch (52), and a third motion branch (53) connected in parallel. One end of the first motion chain (51) and the second motion chain (52) are mounted on the support base (21), and the other end is rotatably connected to the palm module (1); One end of the third motion chain (53) is rotatably connected to the support base (21), and the other end is rotatably connected to the wrist base (22); By driving the first motion branch (51) and the second motion branch (52) to move synchronously, the wrist base (22) can achieve pitch motion; by driving the first motion branch (51) and the second motion branch (52) to move asynchronously, the wrist base (22) can achieve swing motion.

9. The five-fingered dexterous hand according to claim 8, characterized in that, The first motion branch (51) and the second motion branch (52) have the same structure, including a linear module base (501), a second motor (502), a lead screw assembly (503), a drive rod (504), and a ball joint hinge (505) connected in sequence. The other end of the linear module base (501) is connected to the support base (21); The other end of the ball joint hinge (505) is connected to the wrist base (22); The third motion chain (53) includes a Hooke hinge (506), a passive link (507), and a cross hinge (508) connected in sequence; the other end of the cross hinge (508) is connected to the support base (21); the other end of the Hooke hinge (506) is connected to the wrist base (22).
