摘要： A device can include at least one of an exoskeleton comprising a preloaded elastic spring, a plurality of drums coupled to the preloaded elastic spring, and a cable coupled to a user, the plurality of drums and the preloaded elastic spring; and a robotic hand. The robotic hand includes a glove comprising digits, a tubing system in fluid communication with a fluid supply, a plurality of sensors coupled to the digits of the glove, and a plurality of soft actuators coupled to the tubing system and the plurality of sensors. The plurality of soft actuators comprises a thickened base, a fluid cavity above the thickened base defined by a tube, and a retaining device wrapped around the tube.
