The Germans introduced the automatic glove-amplifier Bashny.Net

One of the favorites of the Hannover Messe has become a robotic glove that increases grip twice. A controller using nonlinear algorithms for exact tuning of the feedback automation, very subtly responds to the movements and forces of the fingers.

German company Festo has dubbed this device ExoHand. The gloves used by the external power skeleton, which is equipped with a tiny pneumocylinders. Recent work from an external pressure source.









What's interesting in this device, in addition to increasing the strength of the hand and reduce fatigue of the worker is remote manipulation. In this case, the glove is a sensor that translates the movement of hands on a computer controlling the manipulator.

The operator can observe the actions controlled robot on screen or through glass. This possibility gloves can be very useful in threat production.









Pnevmotechnika also able to turn into a manipulator of some passive object, such as an artificial hand made of silicone. Such external manipulation can be used for the application of gloves as prosthesis. For example, if you use sensors of neuronal activity in the motor areas of the cerebral cortex, with this glove you can restore the mobility of the hand in patients suffering from paralysis.
