This paper presents the design of an anthropomorphic artificial finger. The robot finger features an underactuated mechanism which replicates three muscles and its tendons in human: flexor digitorum profundus, extensor digitorum, lumbrical. We analyze the motion of the robot finger from a quasi-static perspective. The simulated motion shows it is easy to change the motion by adjusting only one mechanical parameter. It achieves the preshaping with a self-adaptive robot finger. Finally, a prototype of a robot finger is built and tested to compare its motion with the simulated one.
