Dexterous hand thumb structure, dexterous hand, and robot

This invention relates to the field of dexterous hand technology, and provides a dexterous hand thumb structure, a dexterous hand, and a robot. The dexterous hand thumb structure includes a palm drive unit, a first deceleration unit, and a thumb module. By using the palm drive unit and the first deceleration unit as drive components for the metacarpophalangeal joint, the entire thumb module can achieve palmar lateral swinging motion. At the same time, by setting a bending drive unit in the thumb metacarpal joint, the rotation of the CMC joint is controlled by the bending drive unit, thereby enabling the thumb metacarpal joint to swing while simultaneously performing rotational flexion and extension movements. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the thumb metacarpal joint is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the entire thumb module's swinging motion, and the entire movement process is independent and compact. This allows for independent control of thumb bending and palmar movement within a limited space, achieving more precise dexterous hand motion control.
