An artificial wrist including a static body adapted to be bound to a support; a movable body adapted to be bound to an end effector; and a junction block defining an axis of rotation between the static body and the movable body and including a cable suitable to be moved by mutual rotation of the bodies and around the axis of rotation, and elastic member placing the cable under tensile stress and working in opposition to the movement of the cable to define a rest position in which the cable and the elastic member exerts a zero resulting torque on the bodies and, and an activation position in which they exert a non-zero resulting torque on the bodies and, bringing the bodies and back to the rest position.
