A robotic hand exoskeleton has been shown to improve finger speed in trained pianists after a single 30-minute training session. Researchers at Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo developed the device, which raises and lowers each finger individually, and tested its effectiveness on 118 expert pianists. The study found that pianists who received fast and complex finger movements from the exoskeleton showed improved coordination and increased finger speed in both hands, even a day later.
A robotic hand exoskeleton can help expert pianists learn to play even faster by moving their fingers for them.who can no longer use their hands due to an injury or medical condition, but using them to improve the abilities of able-bodied people has been less well explored.Furuya at Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo and his colleagues have found that a robotic exoskeleton can improve the finger speed of trained pianists after a single 30-minute training session.
The robotic exoskeleton can raise and lower each finger individually, up to four times a second, using a separate motor attached to the base of each finger.
