The document describes a hand exoskeleton device invented by researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia that is capable of guiding and assisting finger flexion and extension movements to enable grasping of objects. The exoskeleton can accommodate different hand sizes and reduce strain on joints while precisely actuating each finger segment to allow grasping unknown objects safely and comfortably without calibration. The researchers are seeking an industrial partner interested in licensing the technology covered by the granted patent.
