autonomous eating with cutlery, grasping and holding a glass full of water, e.g.: fingertip forces ~10 N, ROM at fingers ~° ), and from usability endpoints (easy and quick donning/doffing procedures, prolonged wearing, comfort, reduced bulk and weight).Įxpected outcomes include: (i) implementation of novel/improved designs of (some of) the stages of the device, (ii) assessments of performance through solid methodological and patient-centered approaches.

Input design requirements are drawn from required performance during typical activities of daily living (e.g.

(WP2) Mechanical Verification and Validation (WP1) Familiarization with existing hand exoskeleton, state-of-the-art literature, and medical devices lifecycle The Thesis will be divided into three main work packages (WP): This work will leverage on the knowledge on medical devices lifecycle matured within the laboratory, on the existing exoskeleton hardware concept, and will draw inspiration from state-of-the-art soft robotic exoskeletons / grippers to improve the existing device exploiting mechanically-compliant structures, materials and manufacturing methods.

The objective of this Thesis is to perform closed-loop Verification and Validation (V&V) and Design and Development (D&D) activities on the three stages, to verify adherence to input design requirements and to improve the functionalities of the device based on the results of V&V.

The hand exoskeleton is composed of three main stages: (i) a wearable actuation stage, (ii) a bi-directional motion transmission stage to transmit the mechanical energy from the actuation stage to the user’s hand, and (iii) a wearable exoskeletal layer to exchange the mechanical energy with the wearer’s fingers – enabling to actively control their movements. Experimental results showed that the exoskeleton could help these users regain capabilities useful for independence in daily life that they had lost since their disabling accidents.Ĭlick here for an overview of the project The device was iteratively designed, developed and tested in collaboration with healthcare professionals and users with hand motor disabilities. Introduction At the BioRobotics laboratory at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), we developed a novel hand exoskeleton with the main purpose of assisting independence and promoting intensive use during activities of daily living (ADL).
