A robotic hand exoskeleton can help expert pianists learn to play even faster by moving their fingers for them. Robotic exoskeletons have long been used to rehabilitate people who can no longer use ...

For seasoned pianists, mastering their craft requires years of dedicated practice. Yet even the most accomplished musicians eventually reach a point where further improvement is increasingly out of ...

Stroke is the most important cause of disability for adults in the EU, which affects approximately 1.1 million inhabitants each year. After a stroke, patients commonly need rehabilitation to relearn ...

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 ...

Industrial exoskeletons reduce muscle strain, boost endurance, and deliver measurable productivity gains in manufacturing and ...

For people with spinal cord injuries/diseases (SCI/D), performing daily tasks can be a challenge due to an impaired ability to grasp and manipulate objects with their hands. University of Cincinnati ...

Robotic exoskeletons could help disabled people regain their mobility, factory workers lift heavier loads, or athletes run faster. So far, they've been largely restricted to the lab due to the need to ...

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 ...

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, ...
