Wrist Driven

Wrist-driven systems, focusing on leveraging wrist motion to control hand function, are a key area of research in assistive robotics and rehabilitation engineering. Current efforts concentrate on improving the design and control of wrist-driven orthoses and exosuits, including the development of lightweight, soft actuators and advanced control algorithms that adapt to user needs and task demands. This research aims to enhance the dexterity and usability of assistive devices for individuals with impaired hand function, potentially improving their independence and quality of life. Furthermore, advancements in force/torque sensing, often using computer vision, are improving the precision and safety of these systems.
