Tendon Driven Finger Actuation SystemA humanoid robot includes a robotic hand having at least one finger. An actuation system for the robotic finger includes an actuator assembly which is supported by the robot and is spaced apart from the finger.

The actuator assembly is operable to actuate the tendon to move the tendon terminator and, thus, the finger.
