ExoHand

人类与机器之间的新互动领域

无论是装配、远程操作、服务机器人还是医疗:ExoHand 可用于许多应用领域。气动外骨骼可以像手套一样戴上,从外部支撑人手,从而增强其力量和耐力。

Potential in a wide range of fields

Despite the high degree of automation, there are still many assembly activities in industry that can only be carried out by humans. This often results in monotonous and tiring movements that are constantly repeated. Such activities become challenging for older employees in particular. The ExoHand takes the strain off the user and could thus improve ergonomics in the workplace of the future.

In combination with a brain–computer interface (BCI), the ExoHand can be used as an active artificial hand to help stroke patients with symptoms of paralysis to renew the missing connection between brain and hand. For this purpose, an electroencephalography (EEG) signal measured at the head detects the patient’s desire to open or close the hand.
