Design and Analysis of Foldable Structures based on the Finger Exoskeleton Joint

Abstract

A Mechanical Finger exoskeleton is a device designed to enhance or restore the function of a finger. With the advancement of science and technology, especially the development of robotics and biomedical engineering, such devices show great potential in the fields of rehabilitation medicine, industrial applications and human-computer interaction. For example, enhancing or restoring human function through wearable mechanical devices, especially in assisting the disabled, improving rehabilitation efficiency and military applications, shows great potential. In this paper, we will use solid works to conduct 3D modeling and Matlab coding to briefly elaborate the folding structure design and analysis of the mechanical exoskeleton finger joint. This study reveals the relevant models and simulations of the mechanical finger exoskeleton, which can increase the bending and stretching of the finger within the natural motion range and improve the flexibility characteristics. It can be adjusted according to the specific situation of patients, reduce medical costs, in the field of robotics itself, improve its flexibility and adaptability, improve task execution efficiency, convenience, lightweight and so on for most fields are a big advantage
