The system comprises a robotic hand, a robotic wrist (2), a stump receiving cavity (1) and a data processor (3), wherein the robotic hand and the stump receiving cavity (1) are respectively mounted on two ends of the robotic wrist (2); a multi-channel myoelectric array electrode oversleeve, a control unit circuit board, and a battery are connected in the stump receiving cavity (1); and the other end of the control unit circuit board is connected to the robotic hand and the robotic wrist (2). The method for using the system comprises the following steps: (S1) a user wearing a multi-channel myoelectric array electrode oversleeve, and connecting a battery and a control unit circuit board; (S2) the user completing a gesture, collecting a surface electromyography signal and then uploading same to a data processor (3); (S3) the data processor (3) receiving the surface electromyography signal and inputting same into a neural network algorithm to generate a gesture prediction model; and (S4) the user controlling the multi-degree-of-freedom movement of the robotic wrist (2) and the robotic hand. By means of the system, continuous gestures and the gesture strength thereof can be identified, and multi-degree-of-freedom gestures can be made.

    Abstract: A rope-driven soft hand function rehabilitation device includes four finger exoskeleton mechanisms, a thumb exoskeleton mechanism, and a soft rubber glove. An index-finger exoskeleton mechanism includes an index-finger distal phalanx loop, an index-finger middle phalanx loop, and an index-finger proximal phalanx loop which are mutually connected via a hinge structure. The thumb exoskeleton mechanism includes a thumb proximal phalanx loop and a thumb distal phalanx loop which are connected via a hinge structure. The rope is fastened to the hand function rehabilitation device via an aluminum sleeve which prevents the rope from slipping off during finger flexion/extension and abduction/adduction when the fingers are pulled by the rope at the palm and the hand back.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a two-degree-of-freedom rope-driven finger force feedback device. The two-degree-of-freedom rope-driven finger force feedback device includes a hand support mechanism, a thumb movement mechanism, an index finger movement mechanism, and a handle mechanism. The hand support mechanism includes a motor, a motor shaft sleeve, a sliding rail, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. The thumb movement mechanism includes a long rotary disc, a torque sensor, an angle sensor, a thumb sleeve, a pressure sensor, two links, a thumb brace, and a thumb fixing ring. The handle mechanism includes a cylindrical handle, a pressure sensor, a flexible fixing band, and a slider. Torque is driven between the rotary disc and the motor by using a rope. The handle mechanism is movable forward and backward and is capable of automatic restoration. By means of the present invention, the problems of the high costs of a conventional finger force feedback device and the unadjustable characteristic of the conventional finger force feedback device are overcome. The device can be tightly worn and has a self-adaptive degree of freedom. Rope driving can ensure a gentle, smooth, and real feedback force. By means of the mounted sensors, information such as a hand posture, a rotation angle and a grip force of a thumb and an index finger, and a contact force of a middle finger can be transmitted in real time.
