Abstract

This paper is based on a research project regarding the design and development of an Intelligent Haptic Robot-Glove (IHRG) for the rehabilitation of the patients that have a diagnosis of a cerebrovascular accident. The IHRG is an exoskeleton that supports the human hand and hand activities by using a control architecture for dexterous grasping and manipulation. This IHRG is a medical device that acts in parallel to a hand in order to compensate some lost function. A novel approach for the development of an exoskeleton assistive hand is considered, a “mechatronic approach” for the integration of the mechanical structure, the sensory, the actuation system and the virtual and control system.
