The Engineering Design and Technological Development Group (DIDET), from the University of Alicante ArtefactosLAB, has once again taken a step forward in terms of social innovation with the design of ...

The study focuses on the advantages and difficulties encountered when users wear a back-support exoskeleton during manual material handling tasks. In addition, the research offers a statistical ...

Hand mobility is often impaired after tendon injuries or as a result of strokes. In therapy, exoskeletons increasingly serve to support recovery. These devices fit over the hand like a second skeleton ...

Dexta Robotics is pioneering what they see as the next logical step for immersive experiences, being able to touch the virtual world, and to feel it push back. Their Dexmo VR gloves are designed to ...

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 ...

Scientists are developing a lightweight and portable hand exoskeleton that can be controlled with brainwaves. The device enhances performance of brain-machine interfaces and can restore functional ...

Army scientists are trying to figure out the best way to design hard exoskeletons to fit "fleshy" human bodies so they're comfortable enough to wear in combat. The U.S. military has been attempting to ...

An extremely lightweight and portable hand exoskeleton may one day help the physically impaired with daily living. These are the hopes of EPFL scientist Luca Randazzo who is developing the exoskeleton ...

Harvard Biodesign Lab is developing next generation soft wearable robots that use innovative textiles to provide a more conformal, unobtrusive and compliant means to interface to the human body. These ...

Robotics lends a helping hand. Using a brain-controlled exoskeleton, six paralysed people regained the ability to do everyday tasks such as using cutlery or signing documents. The system required no ...
