The authors present PHD-Hand, a five-digit robot hand designed for simpler fabrication. A flexible root joint lets a spring-steel rod drive upper joints independently of root tilting. The prototype uses 13 parts per digit with one-piece joints and phalanges, versus 27+ for a comparator, and performs a wrench task. Around 200 test hours on one prototype, including two rod-breakage glitches, do not establish long-term reliability.
