This paper discusses the result on structural analysis of a recently designed fingertip for a three-fingered robot hand. This analysis is necessary to understand the structural changes occur under certain range of external force acting on the fingertip. The key parameters to be observed are deformation and equivalent (von-misses) stress. These simulated tests had given good results since there was no permanent deformation occurred and no yielding happened even in the area that had been considered critical. The fingertip will be produced as a prototype and equipped with the miniature load cells for force control of the three-fingered robot hand in the future.Â
