Preferably, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, one flexible driving means 1 is disposed on each of the front and back sides of the hand, and the flexible driving means 1 on the front and back sides of the hand are disposed to intersect, so that not only fore-and-aft bending of the wrist, as shown in fig. 2(a) and 2(b), but also left-and-right bending, as shown in fig. 3(a) and 3(b), and supination and pronation, as shown in fig. 4(a) and 4(b), can be achieved. Specifically, when the front and back bending is needed, the fluid pressure of the driving cavity 11 in the flexible driving device 1 of the palm surface and the back surface of the hand can be controlled: as shown in fig. 2(a), when forward bending is required, the fluid pressure in the flexible driving device 1 on the front side of the hand is controlled to be less than the fluid pressure in the flexible driving device 1 on the back side of the hand, so that the elongation of the flexible driving device 1 on the back side of the hand is greater than the elongation of the flexible driving device 1 on the front side of the hand, and the fluid pressure in each driving cavity 11 in the flexible driving devices 1 on the front side and the back side of the hand is controlled to be bent forward, thereby completing the forward driving of the wrist; when the backward bending is required, as shown in fig. 2(b), similarly, the fluid pressure in the flexible driving device 1 on the front side of the hand is made greater than the fluid pressure in the flexible driving device 1 on the back side of the hand, and the fluid pressures in the driving chambers 11 in the flexible driving devices 1 on the front side and the back side of the hand are controlled to bend backward.
