Description

This paper proposes an exoskeleton glove meant to reduce fatigue in the human hand when it grips an object. The mechanism senses when the user’s hand is grasping an object, then locks the positioning of the hand to hold the grip for the user. The hand then waits for the user to release their grip, then allows the hand to move freely.
