Patent attributes
A multi-fingered robot includes a plurality of finger mechanisms that each of which has a first wire for driving, a plurality of driving parts for bending that independently drives the first wire of each finger mechanism so as to bend each of the finger mechanisms, a connecting member that connects between at least one set of the first wires among a plurality of the first wires, and a driving controller that controls driving of the first wire of each of the finger mechanisms by the driving parts for bending. The driving controller causes the driving part for bending that drives the first wire of the second finger mechanism to assist the bending operation of the first finger mechanism via the extended connecting member if a difference between a first posture of the first finger mechanism and a second posture of the second finger mechanism is larger than a predetermined difference.
