The idea of this for a "finger" is way cool:

Very cool indeed. I saw that page a long time ago when Iain got me interested in
parallel robots. I can't quite figure out the differential gearing that drives
the three fingers. If only two fingers had to be balanced, a single differential
would do, but how does it work for three fingers??? Can anyone explain to me how
the gearing would work?

I imagine it could be done with 2 standard diffs - one output of diff1 drives
the input of diff2, the other output of diff1 & the 2 outputs of diff2 drive the
fingers. You may have to experiment a little with gearing to get it right.

Of course there may be a better way too...
