ESP32 Servo Glove Kit for Automated Physiotherapy Rehab
ESP32 Servo Glove Kit: Automated Physiotherapy & Sport Form Coaching
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine a glove that automatically guides your fingers through prescribed exercise routines, measures force exertion in real time, and logs every session for analysis - without a physiotherapist present. The Sport Form Coach Kit lets you build a servo-actuated wearable that runs Active Range of Motion (AROM) physiotherapy programs, ideal for sports recovery, hand rehabilitation, or even coaching correct form in racket sports. By combining an ESP32 with four micro servos, force sensing resistors, and an inertial motion unit, you create a personalised rehabilitation tool that adapts to progress and stores data for long-term tracking.
What You'll Build
You'll build a four-finger exoskeleton glove that uses four MG90S servos to drive finger flexion and extension under the supervision of an ESP32. Force sensing resistors on each fingertip provide feedback on pressure, ensuring safe and effective movement tailored to therapeutic thresholds. The glove can be programmed with custom exercise sequences, store session data on a microSD card along with timestamps from the DS3231 RTC, and display real-time status on the 0.96-inch OLED - all powered by a rechargeable 7.4V LiPo battery and charged via the included TP4056 module. The 3D printed frame and Velcro straps ensure a firm yet comfortable fit for a range of adult hand sizes.
What You'll Learn
- Designing closed-loop control systems for wearable actuators using sensor feedback and servo positions
- Interfacing multiple I2C devices - servo driver, IMU, RTC, OLED - with an ESP32 on a single bus
- Calibrating and reading force sensing resistors (FSR 402) to map fingertip pressure into actionable data
- Building a portable, battery-powered embedded system with power budgeting and charging circuitry

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is ideal for physiotherapy researchers testing automated rehabilitation protocols, sports science professionals building form-correction tools, B.Tech and M.Tech students in biomedical or electronics engineering working on final-year projects, and hardware startups prototyping wearable medical devices in India. It assumes prior soldering experience and familiarity with microcontroller programming, making it a strong fit for engineering colleges like IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani, as well as atal tinkering labs focusing on health-tech solutions.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code on the box to launch your AI build companion, which walks you through each connection and calibration step. You can also connect with our team over WhatsApp for personalised guidance.
Can I customise the exercise programs for different therapy protocols?
Absolutely. The open-source ESP32 code lets you define any sequence of servo angles and force thresholds, so you can program flexion/extension routines for individual fingers and adjust them as the patient progresses.
Is the 3D printed glove frame adjustable for different hand sizes?
The frame comes in a standard medium size, but Velcro straps and multiple mounting points give you a comfortable fit on most adult hands. You can also modify the 3D model to print a customised size if needed.
Does the kit include everything needed to start building right away?
Yes, even the soldering iron and solder wire are included. You will only need basic tools like a screwdriver and a computer with the Arduino IDE to upload code to the ESP32.
Sports - Servo-actuated four-finger glove with FSR feedback runs AROM physiotherapy exercise programs automatically.
