Abstract
A lightweight, flexible, under-actuated exoskeleton hand has been created in work from the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Genova, Italy. Intended as a general purpose device, the four-finger design is now being explored as a medical rehabilitation aid but has wide potential from assisted living to virtual reality.
