st. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI) developed an exo-glove, which is an anthropometric model of a grip strengthener.
The body of the 3D printed exo arm is made of high strength plastic. The development is heat resistant and durable – the glove protects against cuts and scratches. The Exo-glove model improves hand grip – flexion and extension of the fingers with the help of its motors.
Its creator, Tatyana Ushakova, noted that the device is controlled in two ways: tactile – by pressing buttons or touch panels, and also with gel electrodes that read the pulse.
Initially, the exo-brush was aimed at facilitating the rehabilitation of people, but now developers consider it an assistant for workers in industrial and manufacturing enterprises – it is supposed to help when transporting warehouse cargo or other dimensional objects.
