Wearable Exoskeletons Based on Multimodal Edge Computing for Daily Life Assistance
LEARN

focuses on assistive devices in the form of wearable robotic systems that can enhance or restore motor functions in healthy workers or patients with motor disabilities.
The Goal

The main goal is to leverage machine learning (ML) as an enabling technology for developing the next generation of such assistive devices.

Prototype of the actuated glove

developed at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Institute of Mechanical Intelligence. The structure is manufactured in soft 3D printed polymers and textiles, hosting the tendon sheaths for supporting finger closure.

Evaluation of the Prototype with a Force-Sensorized Graspable Object

The evaluation of the prototype involves using a graspable object equipped with force sensors to assess the performance and effectiveness of the exoskeleton's grip and control mechanisms.
