Rehabilitation Robot Glove Variant 28 Kit with ESP32 + Servo
ESP32-Powered Hand Rehabilitation Glove: Automate Physiotherapy with Servo & Force Sensors
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Build a wearable glove that autonomously moves fingers through active range-of-motion exercises, guided by force sensor feedback and motion tracking. This ESP32-powered rehabilitation robot helps physiotherapists deliver consistent hand therapy, records session data, and adapts exercise routines automatically. It brings clinical automation directly to your workbench, letting you prototype a device that could transform stroke recovery or mobility impairment treatment.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a four-finger exoskeleton glove driven by four MG90S micro servos, orchestrated by an ESP32 board and PCA9685 servo driver. Each fingertip embeds an FSR 402 force-sensing resistor to measure grasp pressure, while an MPU6050 accelerometer/gyroscope monitors wrist orientation. A 0.96‑inch OLED shows exercise progress, and a DS3231 real-time clock stamps therapy logs onto a MicroSD card. The system runs pre‑programmed AROM exercise cycles, adjusting flexor and extensor movements based on real‑time force feedback.
What You'll Learn
- Program an ESP32 to control multiple servo motors over I2C with a PCA9685 driver for precise finger articulation
- Integrate FSR 402 force-sensitive resistors to deliver closed‑loop feedback in a wearable therapeutic device
- Fuse MPU6050 motion data and DS3231 timestamps to log and analyze exercise adherence patterns
- Design a mechatronic glove that automates AROM physiotherapy protocols for repeatable, data‑backed rehabilitation

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for physiotherapy researchers, biomedical engineering students (B.Tech/BE in ECE, EEE, or biomedical), and healthcare innovation teams participating in Smart India Hackathon. Equally suited for faculty at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani working on assistive technology, as well as ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding advanced wearable projects. Clinicians prototyping custom hand therapy devices will find the plug‑and‑play sensor integration ready for clinical validation.
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 to launch the AI companion specific to this kit; it walks you through debugging step by step. If you need human backup, reach out via WhatsApp for real‑time guidance from our support engineers.
Does the glove accommodate different hand sizes?
The 3D‑printed frame attaches with four Velcro straps, making it adjustable for most adult hands (circumference 18–25 cm). The strap positions are designed to centre the FSR pads on the fingertips.
Can I modify the exercise programs for specific therapy protocols?
Absolutely. The AI companion provides commented ESP32 code that defines servo angles, force thresholds, and cycling speeds. You can edit these parameters to tailor AROM routines for stroke, post‑surgery, or spasticity management.
What data does the glove record, and how do I access it?
Each session logs timestamped flexion/extension angles, peak force per finger, and compliance metrics to a CSV file on the MicroSD card. Open the file in any spreadsheet tool for trend analysis or integrate it with patient records.
Servo-actuated four-finger glove with FSR feedback runs AROM physiotherapy exercise programs automatically.
