1. A robot hand that comprises two or more finger portions making contact with a physical object and grips the physical object between the finger portions,
wherein a gripping direction is nearly orthogonal to an extension direction of the finger portion and an outer shape of at least one phalanx portion is formed of a wire rod group configured with a plurality of loop-like wire rods having elasticity and arranged at predetermined intervals, and
wherein, in the wire rod group, the wire rods are arranged such that a loop shape extends in the extension direction of the finger portion and have an opening, which extends in the extension direction of the finger portion, between the wire rods.
