An automatic “smart hand” has been created to help musicians following a stroke. The device is a flexible and lightweight glove with the ability to customize the individual user and machine learning.

Tactile sensors are built into the glove, and artificial intelligence allows using it to re-develop hand motor skills following neurotrauma. In turn, music therapy contributes to the restoration of speech and motor functions following a stroke.
The device weighs 191 grams and is made quite easily using 3D printing.
Thanks to pneumatic actuators at the fingertips, the glove can perform movements as precise as a human hand. Sixteen sensors make it possible to feel the real surfaces of objects.
