The robot consists of two parts: the production of the 3D-printer hand and glove with sensors attached to it. Enough to put on a glove and arm will repeat all the movements of the hand.

– The controller reads the data from the sensors and sends them to the control system model of the hand, the second controller controls the right arm – said “RG” project leader Yegor Shelomentsev . – All information is transmitted over the wireless network.

However, according to students, they have invented a robot can be useful to man, not only in space but also in everyday life. For example, the arm can be used as a training device for patients who need to repair muscle activity after a stroke or surgery.

– If the glove is put on a good hand, and on the patient to make an overlay, then repeat the movement of one hand, arm will help stretch the muscles and restore their tone, – the press service of innovative enterprises of Tomsk region.
