Robotic Glove



A new robotic glove help users take a control of their hands. Litle daily tasks can be a big obstacle for patients with spinal cord injuries. That new robotic glove developed by engineers could change that.

John A. Paulson it is the developer, he is researcher in the Engineer School of Harvard University. Paulson gave much importance to usability and user comfort so he and his team it is engaged so that it seemed as natural as possible. The actuator system has made with kevlar and silicone elastomer. The glove is extremely lightweight.

"Ultimately, patients have to be comfortable with wearing the glove," said Kevin Galloway, a mechanical engineer with Wyss. "In addition glove function, we found that people cared about their appearance, which could have a big impact on whether or not the glove would be a welcome part of your daily routine."
