ExoHand

 ExoHand  is a exoskeleton controlled robot that is controlled by gloves that use 3-D print for precise fit, feel, and control. This robot works by taking a scan of the user’s hand and printing a custom-fit glove out of polyamide plastic that ensures a custom fit. That in turn helps to not only make the control inputs as precise as possible. The user feels what the robot feels. So when handling an object with the robotic arm, the user can sense how hard the arm is gripping the object. The robot arm can amplify the force exerted by the user to make it a much stronger analog for the human’s movement, but the super-precise feedback between human and machine allowed by the 3-D printed glove ensures that this boost in strength is kept under perfect control.
