Mechanical assessment of novel compliant mechanisms for underactuated prosthetic hands (2023)
Journal Article
Ramos, O., de Arco, L., Cifuentes, C. A., Moazen, M., Wurdemann, H., & Múnera, M. (2023). Mechanical assessment of novel compliant mechanisms for underactuated prosthetic hands. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 11, Article 985901. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2023.985901

This paper proposes novel compliant mechanisms for constructing hand prostheses based on soft robotics. Two models of prosthetic hands are developed in this work. Three mechanical evaluations are performed to determine the suitability of the two desi... Read More about Mechanical assessment of novel compliant mechanisms for underactuated prosthetic hands.

A fabric-based soft hand exoskeleton for assistance: the ExHand Exoskeleton (2023)
Journal Article
Maldonado-Mejía, J. C., Múnera, M., Diaz, C. A. R., Wurdemann, H., Moazen, M., Pontes, M. J., …Cifuentes, C. A. (2023). A fabric-based soft hand exoskeleton for assistance: the ExHand Exoskeleton. Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 17, Article 1091827. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnbot.2023.1091827

Introduction: The rise of soft robotics has driven the development of devices for assistance in activities of daily living (ADL). Likewise, different types of actuation have been developed for safer human interaction. Recently, textile-based pneumati...
