The lightweight and customizable glove utilizes tactile sensors, soft actuators, and artificial intelligence to aid in the relearning of manual tasks after neurotrauma.
Music has been recognized as a therapeutic tool for stroke patients, aiding in their recovery and boosting motor functions. However, relearning the intricate skills required for playing music can be challenging. The smart glove aims to alleviate anxiety and trauma by assisting stroke patients in regaining coordination and dexterity.
Through pneumatic actuators and sensors, the glove provides fine movements and tactile sensations, allowing the user to feel the surfaces and objects they touch.

The glove can be programmed and trained using machine learning algorithms to provide feedback and improve the user’s ability to learn over time. While there are still challenges to be overcome, the smart glove shows promise in helping disabled individuals relearn dexterous tasks, such as playing musical instruments, and potentially assisting with other rehabilitation tasks as well.
