In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of hand exoskeleton technologies for
rehabilitation and assistive engineering, from basic hand biomechanics to actuator …

The development of dynamic hand orthoses is a fast-growing field of research and has
resulted in many different devices. A large and diverse solution space is formed by the …

This paper presents the design, implementation, and experimental validation of a haptic
glove mechanism: the RML glove (Robotics and Mechatronics Lab). The designed haptic …

Force feedback gloves have found many applications in fields such as teleoperation and
virtual reality. In order to enhance the immersive feeling of interaction with remote or virtual …

Encountered-Type Haptic Displays (ETHDs) provide haptic feedback by positioning a
tangible surface for the user to encounter. This permits users to freely eliciting haptic …

Hand rehabilitation exoskeletons are in need of improving key features such as simplicity,
compactness, bi-directional actuation, low cost, portability, safe human-robotic interaction …

Chronic hand impairment is common following stroke. While mass practice of movement has
shown promise for rehabilitation, initial impairment of the hand may be too severe to permit …

We introduce PoCoPo, the first handheld pin-based shape display that can render various
2.5 D shapes in hand in realtime. We designed the display small enough for a user to hold it …

Telexistence technology allows for highly realistic sensation of existence in remote places
without actual travel. The concept was originally proposed by the author in 1980, and its …

This paper deals with the mechanical design of a novel haptic hand exoskeleton (HE) that
allows exerting controlled forces on the fingertip of the index and thumb of the operator. The …
