DOI: 10.1089/soro.2023.0089
Abstract: Usability and functionality are important when designing hand-wearable robots; however, satisfying both indicators remains a challenging issue, even though researchers have made important progress with state-of-the-art robot components. Although hand-wearable robots require sufficient actuators and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lra.2025.3598647
Abstract: Developing tendon-driven soft hand-wearable robots requires reducing the actuator counts to manage system complexity and functionality. Researchers have leveraged the tendons' inherent ability to apply position or force constraints to the joints, enabling the use… read more here.
