Purpose
The NML Hand Exoskeleton is a robotic hand-wrist orthosis developed at Carnegie Mellon University’s Neuromechatronics Lab. It enables researchers and clinicians to study motor learning, stroke rehabilitation, and assistive control through intuitive EMG-based intent detection.
The system provides:
- Python Motor Control API for commanding individual finger motors
- EMG Integration for real-time intent detection from muscle signals
- Gesture Management with pre-defined and custom patterns for therapy
- Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) support for multi-device synchronization
- PyQt GUI Applications for calibration and interactive control
