The dexterous hand is simple in structure, the bending angle can be monitored and controlled in real time,and a bidirectional bending module of a palm joint can achieve forward bending and reverse active telescopic movement; and a multi-module form is adopted, so that multi-degree-of-freedom flexible operation can be realized, and a better hand rehabilitation training effect is achieved.

The invention discloses a dexterous hand. The dexterous hand comprises a palm. The front end of the palm stretches out to form at least two bendable fingers. Each finger is composed of a plurality of finger joints in shaft connection in sequence. The interior of each finger extends backwards from the fingertip position to form a traction body penetrating through the palm, and a control mechanism for controlling the traction bodies is mounted at the rear end of the palm. When the control mechanism does not pull the traction bodies, the fingers are in a straightened state. When the control mechanism pulls the traction bodies and gradually increases pull force, the fingers are bent gradually. The dexterous hand has the advantages of being simple in structure, simple in manufacturing process and good in finger extending and bending motion controllability and reliability.
