A robotic finger structure includes a proximal phalanx; a middle phalanx rotatably connected to one end of the proximal phalanx; a distal phalanx rotatably connected to one end of the middle phalanx and defining a distal phalanx opening in a front side thereof and at one end adjacent to the middle phalanx; a connecting rod having opposite ends that are rotatably connected to the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx, and an actuating assembly to drive the middle phalanx to rotate with respect to the proximal phalanx. The connecting rod includes a first angled segment having a first recess facing a back side of the middle phalanx. When the distal phalanx is flush with the middle phalanx, the first angled segment passes through the distal phalanx opening, and a first end of the distal phalanx opening extends into the first recess.
