Towards an Extensive Thumb Assist: A Comparison between Whole-Finger and Modular Types of Soft Pneumatic Actuators

Soft pneumatic actuators used in robotic rehabilitation gloves are classified into two types: whole-finger actuators with air chambers that cover the entire finger and modular actuators with chambers only above the finger joints. Most existing prototypes provide enough finger flexion support, but in...
