Traditionally, most robotic hands are exploited by embodying human handstructure 3,4. As a result, the robotic hands with up to 18 DOF (degrees of freedom) and elastic,flexible, and deformable materials have been developed. In addition, force control needs to beapplied so that the robotic arm can pick up both hard and soft objects.
