| Sep 23, 2015 at 11:04 | comment | added | user18979 | I think that you forgot to count the degrees of freedom of abduction and adduction present between each fingers. I've read about robotic hand recently and by a matter of fact i know that a hand has 22 DOF. Not sure though. Hope this helps. | |
| Mar 30, 2015 at 23:04 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | @canadianer - yes I see his video comment. Personally, I think you should answer, you have my upvote :) But I understand your position. It won't result in an accepted answer I guess. Up to you! | |
| Mar 30, 2015 at 23:03 | comment | added | canadianer | @AliceD I didn't answer because I don't know anything about it and the OP seems to want a better explanation. I don't think the question should be closed. | |
| Mar 30, 2015 at 23:00 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | Why is this flagged as "unclear"? Hasn't @canadianer already provided the answer in the comment? Can't you answer it canadianer? Better to answer a question than have it deleted. Admittedly, it's quite a poor question but I am happy to edit it a bit after an answer is put forward | |

| Mar 28, 2015 at 21:02 | comment | added | canadianer | The first link in that search is a paper which says this: "The human hand has 27 degrees of freedom: 4 in each finger, 3 for extension and flexion and one for abduction and adduction; the thumb is more complicated and has 5 DOF, leaving 6 DOF for the rotation and translation of the wrist." | |
