About
A Device That Controls Human Fingers Using Electrical Stimulation
PossessedHand is a device that delivers electrical stimulation to the muscles via a belt worn on the forearm to control and guide finger movements.
By utilizing the structure of human muscles and tendons, the device’s stimulation allows users to move each finger of the hand autonomously.
Solution
Controlling Finger Movements to Expand the Reproduction and Application of Physical Functions
Traditionally, controlling finger movements through functional electrical stimulation required specialized knowledge, limiting the number of people capable of using it. PossessedHand enables the reproduction of physical movements by directly controlling hand and finger movements through electrical stimulation. This provides a new means of reproducing and controlling human movements in fields such as rehabilitation and neuroscience, thereby expanding the possibilities for physical recovery and research.
Feature
High-Precision Control of Electrical Stimulation to the Fingers
With 28 electrodes and 14 independently controlled channels, it can reproduce the complex movements of the fingers.
It also supports motion control involving multiple joints.
Automatic Optimization via Calibration
Equipped with a calibration function that automatically adjusts electrode position and stimulation intensity.
This allows for proper control even without specialized knowledge.
Reproduction and Control of Body Movements
Signals from a computer allow for direct control of hand and finger movements.
It can be used as an interface to replicate human movements.
