Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – Research findings on robotics are disc ussed in a new report. According to news originating from Semarang, Indonesia, b y NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Hand exoskeleton robots have been dev eloped as rehabilitation robots and assistive devices. Based on the material use d, they can be soft or hard exoskeletons.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Diponegoro University : “Soft materials such as fabric can be used as a component of the wearable robo t to increase comfortability. In this paper, we proposed an affordable soft hand exoskeleton based on fabric and motor-tendon actuation for hand flexion/extensi on motion assistance in daily activities. On-off control and PI compensator were implemented to regulate finger flexion and extension of the soft exoskeleton. T he controllers were embedded into a microcontroller using Simulink software. The input signal command comes from the potentiometer and electromyography (EMG) se nsor to drive the flexion/extension movement. Based on the experiments, the prop osed controller successfully controlled the exoskeleton hand to facilitate a use r in grasping various objects.”
