SMA-Based Soft Exo-Glove

Nowadays, robotic technologies are used in many fields, one of them is medicine. The breakthrough has enabled the development devices for rehabilitation therapies. exoskeletons can be found as device therapy, whose rigidity limits user's freedom movement, complicating his interaction with environment an easy and natural way. To overcome this current limitation, researchers invest effort soft devices, wearable, portable comfortable patients, maintaining rigid performance. exo-glove proposed work, accomplishes three main previous features. It actuated by Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) that reduce weight turn it into a exoskeleton. easier to wear comfortable. represents safe adaptable solution human hand therapy special emphasis on activities daily living (ADL). We going analyze performance during ADL movements, e.g. gripping different objects diverse dimensions, which, other have some limitations. In terms address challenge, specific position controller was designed which enables single displacement each finger linear actuator precision 5 %.
