MAC-HAND is a four fingered anthropomorphic robot hand. Each finger has three degrees of freedom (DOFs) and is actuated by four independent tendons driven by DC motors. The four fingers are identical, and consist of two phalanges. The schema below shows the modularity of the MAC-HAND system. Each finger is independently actuated by four motors. The control is performed by four microcontrollers, one for each finger, Finally the coordinated control of the hand is demanded to a supervision computer connected through a CAN bus link.
