The Shadow Robot Company has created the world’s most advanced Dexterous Hand. It’s driven by a block of air muscles mounted behind the hand on the “forearm”. Pneumatic valves and initial control software are provided.

The joints of the hand are driven by an opposing pair of muscles, permitting variable compliance at the joint.
