论文摘要

诸如中风和脊髓损伤之类的常见残疾可能会导致手动功能失去手中的运动功能。可以通过机器人辅助康复技术对其进行处理,例如,与传统方法相比,以便宜且耗时的方式不断地打开和闭合手。手动外骨骼是为了帮助康复而开发的,但它们的庞大性质带来了某些挑战。由于软机器人使用弹性和织物元素而不是较重的链接,并以气动,液压或肌腱为基础,而不是传统的旋转或线性电动机,因此,软手外骨骼被认为是康复方面的更好选择。

Common disabilities like stroke and spinal cord injuries may cause loss of motor function in hands. They can be treated with robot assisted rehabilitation techniques, like continuously opening and closing the hand with help of a robot, in a cheaper, and less time consuming manner than traditional methods. Hand exoskeletons are developed to assist rehabilitation, but their bulky nature brings with it certain challenges. As soft robots use elastomeric and fabric elements rather than heavy links, and operate with pneumatic, hydraulic or tendon based rather than traditional rotary or linear motors, soft hand exoskeletons are deemed a better option in relation to rehabilitation.
