Story summary

Professor Sun Shuaishuai of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) leads nonmotorized robotic hand exoskeletons.
They enable lifting over 200 kilograms with magnetorheological actuators for energy-efficient grip.
IEEE Transactions on Robotics reports 1046 N peak holding force at 5 W with ~98% energy savings.
Simulations show 41.8% grip-strength gain and 20% lower respiratory rate in rescue operations.
