Iron Hand App Control Demonstration

What happens here

The presenter introduces 'The Iron Hand', an advanced hand exoskeleton featuring a power pack housed in a backpack and controlled via a smartphone app. The glove contains five linear actuated servomotors, one for each finger, and pressure sensors in the fingertips and palm. Each servomotor is connected to an artificial tendon that runs through the glove. When pressure is detected, the motors activate, providing 3.6 pounds of force per finger. The app allows users to create and save custom 'recipes' for grip force, sensitivity, and reaction time for each finger and the palm. This makes it ideal for tasks requiring sustained grip, like holding a drill, or for individuals with hand mobility challenges. The microchip in the glove stores these settings, making it portable across different power packs.

Goal: Showcase detailed app control and customization for the Iron Hand exoskeleton
