The journey of the Carbonhand began in the mechatronics lab at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology. Founded in 2006, Bioservo set out to develop a commercial product that would enhance human grip strength. Their pioneering work led to the creation of the SEM Glove and, later, the Ironhand system, which was launched in 2018 as the world’s first soft robotic muscle-strengthening system. This system was designed to combat strain injuries and support factory workers by reducing the physical toll of daily tasks.

AI-DRIVEN EXOSKELETON LIGHTENS YOUR LOAD AND ELEVATES PERFORMANCE
Bioservo’s latest innovation, the Carbonhand, is a soft robotic glove that uses pressure sensors and motors to provide a natural and dynamic grip. Engineered to assist individuals at home, it helps them regain independence in daily activities such as watering plants or peeling potatoes.
The glove’s design features uncovered index fingers and pinkies, while the remaining fingers are equipped with sensors and motors that apply up to 20 newtons of force per finger when needed. The Carbonhand improves grip and endurance by using artificial tendons and electric motors to add power to the glove, ensuring endurance for people with impaired hand function. This enables activities in everyday life, at work or during rehabilitation.
