A research team from the University of Texas Arlington (UTA) has developed a soft exoskeleton that relieves workers during heavy tasks such as lifting and performing repetitive mechanical activities ...

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 trio of researchers based out of the Technical University of Munich and Technical University Darmstadt in Germany has engineered a soft, pneumatic exoskeleton that supports a wearer's elbows, thus ...

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 ...

Festo has been demonstrating their next-generation exoskeleton arm that supports the human hand from the outside to improve its strength and stamina. Watch the video below to see the system in action ...

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 ...
