In one example a input device for an electronic device comprises a first panel comprising an array of pressure sensors, a second panel comprising an array of apertures in fluid communication with the pressure sensors, and a controller comprising logic, at least partly including hardware logic, to receive a plurality of output signals from the plurality of pressure sensors, determine, from the plurality of output signals, a location of an input on the second panel, and generate a data point on a bitmap corresponding to the location of the input on the second panel. Other examples may be described.

The inventive concept relates to a wearable hand robot mounted on a finger to bend the finger by an external force transmitted through a wire. The wearable hand robot is capable of preventing an injury to a user's hand by the wire, achieving simplification of the structure of a finger cap and an improvement in a wearing sensation, and stably moving the finger while having a tactile sensation

In one embodiment, a robotic mirror therapy system for providing therapy to a user having a impaired hand, the system including a motion command glove configured to be worn on a healthy hand of the user or another person, the motion command glove comprising position sensors configured to determine the position and orientation of the healthy hand and its fingers, a motion actuator glove configured to be worn on the user's impaired hand, the motion actuator glove comprising actuators configured to actuate the impaired hand and its fingers, and a control unit configured to receive position data from the motion command glove and to control actuation of the actuators of the motion actuator glove such that the impaired hand mirrors motion of the healthy hand.

An apparatus for manually impaired individuals. The apparatus includes a top element having a base and at least two pairs of arms extending outwardly from the base. The base includes a first aperture and a second aperture. The apparatus further includes a handle connecting to the top element at a distal end of the top element. The handle includes an end part. The end part includes a third aperture and a slot connected by a V shaped portion. The apparatus further includes a restraint having a first end securing at an interior of the handle via the first aperture of the base and a second end of the restraint exposed outside the handle.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a charging apparatus for charging and/or powering a smart or powered crutch device. The crutch may include electronic circuitry as well as on board rechargeable power or energy source, and it may provide access to charge the power source using a charger system. The charger system may be a floor charger configured to receive a portion of the crutch such as the distal tip so as to facilitate the transfer of power from the charger to the crutch. The charger system may also be in the form of a wall charger and/or a portable system.

Systems and methods for tracking unintentional muscle movements of a user and stabilizing a handheld tool while it is being used by the user are described. The method may include detecting motion of a handle of the handheld tool manipulated by a user while the user is performing a task with a user-assistive device attached to an attachment arm of the handheld tool. Furthermore, the method may include storing the detected motion in a memory of the handheld tool as motion data. The method may also include controlling, based on the motion data, a motion-generating mechanism of the handheld tool that moves the attachment arm relative to the handle in a degree of freedom.
