The invention discloses a rigidity-variable skeleton of a rigid-flexible
coupling dexterous hand. The dexterous hand comprises a palm skeleton and single-finger skeletons rotationally connected with the palm skeleton. The single-finger skeletons include a
thumb skeleton; the
thumb skeleton comprises a fingertip and a
tail knuckle; each of the other single finger skeletons comprises a fingertip, a middle
knuckle and a
tail knuckle, and the middle knuckle and the fingertip are movably connected through a joint, the middle knuckle and the
tail knuckle are movably connected through a joint, and the fingertip and the tail knuckle are movably connected through a joint; each joint comprises a shell, an air bag arranged in the shell and a set of rotating bosses which penetrate through the wall of the shell and are coaxially arranged; each middle knuckle and the corresponding fingertip which are rotationally connected with each other through the corresponding rotating bosses, each middle knuckle and the corresponding tail knuckle are rotationally connected with each other through the corresponding rotating bosses, and each fingertip and the corresponding tail knuckle are rotationally connected with each other through the corresponding rotating bosses; and when each air bag expands, the outer wall of the air bag abuts against one ends of the corresponding rotating bosses to drive the rotating bosses to move towards the two sides along the axis, and the other ends of the corresponding rotating boss abut against the corresponding fingertip or the corresponding middle knuckle or the corresponding tail knuckle. According to the rigidity-variable skeleton of the rigid-flexible
coupling dexterous hand, the rigidity of the finger joints can be quickly changed, so that the whole hand is better attached to an object, finer objects are grabbed, and the safety of human beings is guaranteed.
