What happens when you're immersed in a virtual world – such as a game – and you want to use your real-world fingers to control your virtual fingers in that world? Well, we've already seen a number of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Chinese researchers have recently presented the world a set of nonmotorized robotic hand exoskeletons that would address the hand's strength limitations and fatigue during physically demanding tasks, ...

A team of roboticists at Sony Computer Science Laboratories Inc. and the NeuroPiano Institute, in Kyoto, reports that a robotic exoskeleton strapped to the top of a piano player's hand allowed it to ...

Developers, engineers and robotic enthusiasts who would like to own their very own robotic exoskeleton suit may be interested in a new Kickstarter campaign which consists of a robotic kit providing ...

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 ...

Volker Bartenbach based in Zurich Switzerland has created a new robotic exoskeleton kit which has been specifically designed for STEM education applications and offers a 3D printable Arduino-powered ...
