Abstract: A rehabilitation glove based on a bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure, including five bidirectional drivers and a cotton glove. The drivers are fixed to a back of the glove through hook and loop fasteners. Each driver includes a hollow buckling air bag in a continuous bent state, a middle guide layer in a continuous bent state and a hollow stretching air bag. The buckling air bag and the middle guide layer are symmetrically arranged, and the stretching air bag in a straightened state is arranged below the middle guide layer. A novel bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure is provided, which may provide a patient with rehabilitation training in two degrees of freedom: buckling and stretching. A control algorithm of the bidirectional driver is further provided to perform force control output for the driver, which may better help the patient recover hand functions.
