Abstract

Soft wearable robots promise to be the new frontier for assistance and augmentation of human motor abilities. In this work, we present the design, controller and a preliminary assessment of a soft, textile based glove for assisting hand movements. The device is shown to reduce the muscular effort required for grasping an object in healthy subjects, for forces up to 25 N but slows hand movements in free space.
