This paper presents the design and development of a novel, low-profile, exoskeleton robotic glove aimed for people who suffer from brachial plexus injuries to restore their lost grasping functionality. The key idea of this new glove lies in its new finger mechanism that takes advantage of the rigid coupling hybrid mechanism (RCHM) concept. This mechanism concept couples the motions of the adjacent...
