Seoul National University researchers developed a robotic glove that enhances the power grasp performance of the first responders (Firefighters, Paramedics, and EMTs). The robotic glove, Exo-Glove Power, interprets the user's power grasp intention with a single electromyography (EMG) sensor which is fastened on the musculotendinous junctions of the flexor digitorum superficialis.
