Individuals
with limited or total loss of hand motor abilities may soon attain advanced
prosthetics to perform everyday tasks with ease. Robotics expert Conor Walsh
and a team of engineers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering
and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired
Engineering have developed a soft robotic glove that could aid those suffering
from loss of motor control to regain some of their independence.
