Project content
The aim of the joint project is to create a support system to improve ergonomics in the operating theatre. In the form of a forearm exoskeleton, a system is being developed for everyday clinical use in various operating theatre scenarios. First and foremost, it provides active, ergonomic support for finger and hand movements, which is controlled by haptic sensors.
Goals imk Health
- Improvement of the kinematics and drive unit in conjunction with the sensor system
- Construction of a prototype, then further development
- Technology transfer to other exoskeletons
