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. 000928645 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000928645 650_0 $$aRobotic exoskeletons. 000928645 650_0 $$aHand$$xWounds and injuries. 000928645 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBianchi, Matteo$$tDevelopment and Testing of Hand Exoskeletons$$dCham : Springer,c2020$$z9783030376840 000928645 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000928645 852__ $$bebk 000928645 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-37685-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000928645 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:928645$$pGLOBAL_SET 000928645 980__ $$aEBOOK 000928645 980__ $$aBIB 000928645 982__ $$aEbook 000928645 983__ $$aOnline 000928645 994__ $$a92$$bISE
