Most contemporary hand robots only consider the palmar opposition as the thumb opposition, while ignoring the important role of the opposition of little finger. Consequently, the back of the hand is considered as a rigid, immovable structure. This letter investigated the influence of little finger o
With the increase of sensors and actuators, the size and weight of intelligent robots are becoming larger and bulkier. Especially for wearable robots, excessively large exoskeleton dimensions will reduce the portability and the wearing experience for patients. In this paper, we propose an evaluation
Robotic hand exoskeletons can assist people who suffer from hand.functional disabilities caused by a stroke. However, currently existing hand exoskeletons remain inadequate in terms of user-friendly design, lightweight structure, and accurate modeling of hand motion. In this study, a large displacem
Robotic hand exoskeletons can provide assistance to people who suffer from hand functional disability or spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the current hand exoskeletons remain challenging with respect to having a user-friendly design that satisfies human motion with a lightweight structure. Here we…
