Designing wearable robotic devices, such as exoskeletons, requires testing directly on the user to verify safety, comfort, and effectiveness. This is a timeconsuming practice and not user-safe, especially during the experimental phase early stages. Things get even more complicated in the assistance and rehabilitation field because frail subjects are usually involved. This is also the case for the assistive hand exoskeleton system developed by the Mechatronics and Dynamic Modeling Laboratory of the University of Florence. With the aim of reducing patient involvement in the early stages of the device development and speeding up the prototyping process by allowing for frequent tests, a passive, customizable and kinetically-accurate hand replica has been designed.

Abstract

Designing wearable robotic devices, such as exoskeletons, requires testing directly on the user to verify safety, comfort, and effectiveness. This is a timeconsuming practice and not user-safe, especially during the experimental phase early stages. Things get even more complicated in the assistance and rehabilitation field because frail subjects are usually involved. This is also the case for the assistive hand exoskeleton system developed by the Mechatronics and Dynamic Modeling Laboratory of the University of Florence. With the aim of reducing patient involvement in the early stages of the device development and speeding up the prototyping process by allowing for frequent tests, a passive, customizable and kinetically-accurate hand replica has been designed.
