## Summary

The authors propose ORBIT (Orbital Reconfigurable Base-actuated Integrated Theta-motion Hand), a modular multi-finger robotic hand platform whose core is a rotating knuckle mechanism: fingers travel around a cylindrical palm via a belt drive, enabling finger-layout reconfiguration within 1 second without disassembly.
