Abstract--This paper introduces GEX, an innovative low-cost dexterous manipulation system that combines the GX11 tri-finger anthropomorphic hand (11 DoF) with the EX12 tri-finger exoskeleton glove (12 DoF), forming a closed-loop teleopera-tion framework through kinematic retargeting for high-fidelity control. Both components employ modular 3D-printed finger designs, achieving ultra-low manufacturing costs while maintaining full actuation capabilities. This full-actuation architecture enables precise bidirectional kinematic calculations, substantially enhancing kinematic retargeting fidelity between the exoskeleton and robotic hand. The proposed system bridges the cost-performance gap in dexterous manipulation research, providing an accessible platform for acquiring high-quality demonstration data to advance embodied AI and dexterous robotic skill transfer learning. Hand dexterity is fundamental to human cognition, enabling active manipulation, tool use, and the way we learn from our environment.

A Fabric Soft Robotic Exoskeleton with Novel Elastic Band Integrated Actuators for Hand Rehabilitation

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.


CES Unveiled gives a sneak peek at this year's emerging technology

Just two days ahead of the official start to the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, CES Unveiled gave a sneak peek at some of the technology set to make a splash this year. With robots designed as companions for the elderly, a smart glove for stroke rehabilitation, and even a helmet said to combat baldness, many of the products focused on medical care and personal wellbeing. But, virtual reality dominated the show floor on Tuesday night as well, with everything from immersive exoskeletons to VR slippers. Pictured, an attendee wears the iGrow hair growth system from Apira Science. Exhibitors from Yumii showed off the adorable robot named'Cutii,' which acts as a platform to keep older people connected with the world around them.
