Bonus 2 – Clamp for Arm Rest
After our failed attempt at 3D printing a clamp, we used aluminium profiles to create a clamp instead. The results can be seen in the photos below! Figure 1: Clamp Figure 2: Clamp with Device On Top

Considering the comfort of conducting rehabilitation on a sofa, we have decided to create a clamp for our product. The clamp will allow the device to be secured onto the arm rest of a sofa. In our first attempt, we
Our initial testing saw the nylon strings tangling with one another. Hence, to prevent such wire entanglements, we decided to use tubings that will guide the wires all the way from the fingers to the motor spool. The use of
Considering the pros and cons of the previous 2 ideas for the attachment of the motor housings on the side and on the arm, we came up with a third idea which we are implementing in our final product. Instead
As seen from the previous post, we made a first attempt of putting the motor housing on the forearm on the hand. This proved to be not feasible. Considering the fact that our product is mainly for the purpose of
As previously mentioned, we would be attempting to attach our motors directly onto our arms. This would allow the user to conveniently carry the device around. Our attempt at doing this can be seen in Figure 1 below. Figure 1:
Moving on from our previous efforts to put the whole structure of the exoskeleton together, we changed the rings that were used to secure the ring to the fingers, which were previously too weak to hold the parts down and
In our very first assembly of the whole glove, the attachment of the glove was made possible using felt. The felt pieces were wrapped around the palm and wrist, and then clipped on using an elephant clip. However, we realised
With modifications made to the general slider design (described in the previous post), we decided to work on printing out the pieces for the rest of the fingers (middle, ring, thumb and pinky). Once that was done, we also tried
After deciding on proceeding with the slider design and doing the necessary calculations, we printed out the first prototypes for the index finger of our hand. As the original design had an extra degree of freedom, this gave rise to
