The 'octo-glove' helps patients get a grip by sensing objects nearby and automatically grasping them. healthtech
July 22, 2022The"octo-glove" is a wearable glove that senses objects nearby and automatically grips them. It uses adhesive materials, micro-sensors that detect light, and a microcontroller processing system to attach to a variety of objects in both dry and underwater environments.
To integrate the sensor data to control the grip, the researchers added a microcontroller that processes the data, similar to the octopus' nervous system. "Looking forward, and with the flexibility of modern electronics, we could press a button, we could have another sensor that maybe knows when the object is out of water and then releases," Bartlett explained."We could release under different circumstances, for example, if the user had maybe even used language, effectively telling the adhesive to turn off.
The technology might also be applied in industry and manufacturing, and there are potential medical applications as well.
