A Soft Robotic Pneumatic Actuator for Flat Pinch Movement in Children Finger Rehabilitation: Design, Fabrication and Kinematic Analysis
Abstract: This research presents a comprehensive study on the development, analysis, and evaluation of a soft robotic pneumatic actuator specifically designed for finger children rehabilitation. The actuator’s design focused on enabling flat pinch movement of fingers, which is crucial for grasping and object manipulation. Furthermore, a detailed manufactured process of the construction of the actuator using three configurations of materials are exposed. In addition, kinematic analysis of these actuators was undertaken to explore their motion. The results demonstrate that the three actuators could successfully replicate the flat pinch finger movement.
