HAPTIC EXOSKELETON

HARVEX is a haptic exoskeleton for Virtual Reality

Specially dedicated to interactive rehabilitation

of patients with any motor impairment on their hands

HARVEX has a compact and modular design

That way, the same exoskeleton can be used in any hand

Also, it's quick and easy to attach

The development group is comprised by four students

and a professor from National University of Colombia

HARVEX allows the patient to feel objects visualized through VR

to achieve this, it uses 5 strength sensors and 6 flex sensors to determine the generated strength

and the flexion degree of each finger

it also uses a LeapMotion device to track the hand's spacial position

the gathered information is used to control 5 micromotors

which oppose the fingers movement, generating the feeling of an objects resistance

HARVEX has active training routines to interact with virtual rigid and deformable objects

it has two default games and the possibility of creating custom routines

this encourages the patient, and helps the rehabilitation process to be more appealing and interesting

at the end of every routine, performance and progress statistics are generated for each patient

HARVEX is an unique and economic exoskeleton

that uses specialized sensors and actuators

to aid the patient in strengthening the hand and forearm muscles

to improve coordination and motricity in their movements
