Bioservo Carbonhand
By Bioservo
The Bioservo Carbonhand is a wearable glove with artificial tendons and motors that amplifies the wearer's grip strength.
Bioservo describes the Carbonhand as an assistive device in the form of a grip-strengthening glove. Pressure-sensitive sensors in the glove detect when the user starts a grip; small motors and artificial tendons then add force, depending on how hard the user squeezes. The system consists of the glove and a small power unit that can be worn on the back, around the waist or mounted on a wheelchair. The glove comes in five sizes for the right and left hand and can be worn on the middle and ring finger or on the index and middle finger. Profiles with different levels of support can be set via an app. The page does not state weight, force in newtons or battery life. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.

Notable facts about Carbonhand, its manufacturer and this type of robot
In a 2019 discussion paper, EU-OSHA wrote that the long-term health effects of exoskeletons were still uncertain. The paper also discusses that when designing workplaces the hierarchy of prevention is leading, rather than relying on exoskeletons for an ergonomic work environment.
Source: EU-OSHA, The impact of using exoskeletons on occupational safety and health (2019, discussion paper)ISO 13482:2014 is a safety standard for personal care robots (mobile servant, physical assistant, person carrier); the ISO page states that a revision is expected. Which standards or rules apply to a particular exoskeleton depends on the model and its intended use: ask the provider for conformity information.
