It presents an original approach for the design of human hand motion assistance devices that relies on (i) an optimization-based kinematic scaling procedure, which guarantees a significant adaptability to the user?s hands motion, and (ii) a topology optimization-based design methodology, which allowed the design of a lightweight, comfortable device with a high level of performance. The book covers the whole process of hand exoskeleton development, from establishing a new design strategy,to the construction and testing of hand exoskeleton prototypes, using additive manufacturing techniques. As such, it offers timely information to both researchers and engineers developing human motion assistance systems, especially wearable ones. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aManufactures 606 $aControl engineering 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aOccupational therapy 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aMachines, Tools, Processes 606 $aControl, Robotics, Automation 606 $aOccupational Therapy 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aManufactures. 615 0$aControl engineering. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aOccupational therapy. 615 14$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aMachines, Tools, Processes. 615 24$aControl, Robotics, Automation. 615 24$aOccupational Therapy. 676 $a629.8924019 700 $aBianchi$b Matteo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0271766 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377827603321 996 $aDevelopment and Testing of Hand Exoskeletons$92528599 997 $aUNINA
