Assistive Soft Robotic Glove with Ruffles Enhanced Textile Actuators
<|reference_start|>Assistive Soft Robotic Glove with Ruffles Enhanced Textile Actuators: Hand-wearable robots, specifically exoskeletons, are designed to aid hands in daily activities, playing a crucial role in post-stroke rehabilitation and assisting the elderly. Our contribution to this field is a textile robotic glove with integrated actuators. These actuators, powered by pneumatic pressure, guide the user's hand to a desired position. Crafted from textile materials, our soft robotic glove prioritizes safety, lightweight construction, and user comfort. Utilizing the ruffles technique, integrated actuators guarantee high performance in blocking force and bending effectiveness. Additionally, we present a participant study confirming the effectiveness of our robotic device.<|reference_end|>
