This main focus is aimed at the problem of a specialised human-like robotic gripper designing. The article presents our approaches to solution of the chosen problems of multifunctional robotic grippers designing on the example of a proposed 3D model of three-fingered bio-robotic gripper. Attention is devoted to utilisation of CAD/CAE tools for exploring characteristics of the design using computer simulation. ER
