Automation of display and disposal products is strongly required at convenience stores. In previous research, a robot hand with free rotary gripper was developed, which can switch grasp or rotate products easily for efficient work. However, due to the large fingertips of the robot hand, it was difficult to pick up one product from a crowded state. In this paper, we developed a robot hand and two grip that can pick up one product from a crowded state by reducing the thickness of this robot hand by 40%. With these robot hands, performance evaluation experiment of posture maintenance ability was conducted; the result confirmed that the small T-shaped grip have the same posture maintenance ability of the previous grip.
