Imagine struggling with everyday tasks like watering your plants or peeling potatoes because of weakened grip strength. For many people dealing with conditions like osteoarthritis or myositis, these ...

A new, soft robotic glove that can open and close a patient's hand may bring stroke victims relief in a lightweight device that is less expensive and more pliant than current exoskeleton technology.

A new soft robotic glove is lending a 'hand' and providing hope to piano players who have suffered a disabling stroke or other neurotrauma. Combining flexible tactile sensors, soft actuators and AI, ...

Researchers have developed the prototype of a comfortable and flexible “soft smart hand exoskeleton,” or robo-glove, which gives feedback to wearers who need to relearn tasks that require manual ...

ELON, N.C. — It fits like a glove. “Personally, you can see even the difference in just like this finger from here to her, and it definitely looks a lot better,” said Elon University junior Cassidy ...

Walsh, whose NSF-funded projects include the development of a soft robotic exosuit and soft robotic glove -- both wearable technologies to restore or enhance human movement -- says affordability, ...

Jun Zhang, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research interests lie in the intersection of control theory, robotics, ...

Robotic glove technology developed out of a partnership between General Motors and NASA for use on the International Space Station is being brought to life in health care, manufacturing and other ...

The MIT CSAIL team calls them “banana fingers,” and I can’t really disagree. They’re oblong and bright yellow, but as visually arresting as they are at first glance, they do serve a function. The ...

For people who have suffered neurotrauma such as a stroke, everyday tasks can be extremely challenging because of decreased coordination and strength in one or both upper limbs. These problems have ...
