A finger unit of a robot hand has a first rotational actuator, a first
finger joint part, a first finger linkage, a second finger joint part,
and a second finger linkage that are connected in this order. A second
rotational actuator is attached to the first finger linkage. The first
finger linkage swivels about the first finger joint part by the first
rotational actuator, and the second finger linkage swivels about the
second finger joint part by the second rotational actuator. The second
rotational actuator is attached to the first finger linkage so as to be
in a slantwise orientation relative to a straight line connecting a
center of rotation of the first finger joint part and a center of
rotation of the second finger joint part. With this configuration, an
axial length of the finger unit of a robot hand can be shortened.
