Poster Description

The purpose of this project is to design and built an external assistive device in the form of a cybernetic glove, which improves a user’s ability to grasp, hold and manipulate. Uses for this glove extends to medical, sport, commercial and industrial applications. The initial target market, are female users that have lost strength from nerve or muscle damage due to aging, injury, and disease. The student team, six engineering seniors, have scaled this project to function within a budget of $1,500. The market currently exists for a device like this and it is underserved. Future development in materials and price reduction in fabrication will enable this team to standardize this product for commercial use in sports rehabilitation, nursing homes, retail environments, and factories.
