- Additional Information
- Product is an exoskeleton/robotic glove (not a traditional full-body robot). Category set to 'exoskeleton' per classification rules for wearable lift-assist devices.,Based on NASA/GM Robonaut 2 finger actuator drive train technology, repackaged into a wearable device.,Designed to reduce repetitive stress injuries in hands and forearms, common in automotive and manufacturing work.,Also addresses astronaut hand fatigue from pressurized spacesuit gloves (delaminated fingernails, sore spots).,Bioservo originally a medical device company (SEM glove for hand injury compensation).,Company grew from 8 to 28 employees in two years, jumpstarted by Robo-Glove collaboration with GM.,NASA has two pending patents for spacesuit glove adaptation, to be offered to Bioservo.,Unique competitive differentiator: world's first and only industrial grip-strengthening glove on the market (as of article date).,User feedback: extremely positive, especially from users with preexisting hand injuries; some could stop using pain medication.,Collaboration with GM for prototype testing; GM workers tried Robo-Glove prototypes starting 2015.,NASA building on R2/Robo-Glove technology with Australian natural gas partner for dull/dirty/dangerous field robots.
