EN In this paper design of a compliant anthropomorphic five-finger gripper is presented. The device is intended to be used as a basis for a hand prosthesis development. Influence of the gripper underactuation on grasping capabilities was evaluated. In a series of tests, forces exerted on a manipulated objects were measured. It has been proven, that the gripper compliance significantly reduces forces required to perform secure grasps. Software synergies which are leading to dimensionality reduction of the input vector are presented. Their use allows to control an execution of basic grasp types using only two-dimensional control space.
