Robotics offers methods and technologies for prosthetics to progress, and to obtain wearable devices that can substitute the functions of organs or parts of the human body. I have worked for years on the artificial hand, investigating how to replicate touch, to obtain the maximum operational characteristics of the prostheses to restore the ability to grasp in activities of daily living and to ‘feel’ the characteristics of objects. In the scenario of hand prosthesis the robot is no longer outside of us, but on us, and it converses with the intimate part of us thanks to the neuro-prosthesis. This is how wearable robotics originates.

Abstract
Robotics offers methods and technologies for prosthetics to progress, and to obtain wearable devices that can substitute the functions of organs or parts of the human body. I have worked for years on the artificial hand, investigating how to replicate touch, to obtain the maximum operational characteristics of the prostheses to restore the ability to grasp in activities of daily living and to ‘feel’ the characteristics of objects. In the scenario of hand prosthesis the robot is no longer outside of us, but on us, and it converses with the intimate part of us thanks to the neuro-prosthesis. This is how wearable robotics originates.
