robotic hand

Automated grasping device

A robotic hand is a mechanical device designed to replicate the form and function of a human hand, typically with articulated fingers capable of gripping, manipulating, or gesturing.

Robotic hands appear in industrial automation, prosthetics, and humanoid robots.

The term also describes any mechanical gripper that mimics hand-like grasping: The robotic hand on the assembly line picked components with surprising delicacy.
