This paper describes the structure design of the bending actuator and rotating actuator, the fabrication process of the soft actuator, and the implementation of the soft wearable gloves based on a fabric glove. FEM simulation analysis and experiments were conducted to characterize the mechanical behavior and performance of the soft glove in terms of the angle output and force output upon pressurization. To operate this soft wearable glove, we designed the hardware system for SRGs with a flexible strain sensor and force sensor in the loop and introduced a force\/position hybrid PID control algorithm to regulate the pressure inputted. Experiment evaluation focused on rehabilitation training gestures; motions and the precise grasping assistance function were executed. The rotating actuator between each finger can supply abduction\/adduction motion manner for patients, which will improve rehabilitation effect. The experimental results demonstrated that the developed SRGs have the potential to improve hand movement freedom and the range of grasping successfully.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22166294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,22]],"date-time":"2022-08-22T05:56:40Z","timestamp":1661147800000},"page":"6294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A Novel Wearable Soft Glove for Hand Rehabilitation and Assistive Grasping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4574-3900","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yinlong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Robotics, Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang 110169, China"}]},{"given":"Weizhuang","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}]},{"given":"Kaimei","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0680-6908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiqiang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Robotics, Shenyang Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shenyang 110169, China"}]},{"given":"Haijun","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"173","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mejo.2018.01.014","article-title":"Wearable technologies for hand joints monitoring for rehabilitation: A survey","volume":"88","author":"Rashid","year":"2019","journal-title":"Microelectron.
