7.0 The Nexus Hand
The Nexus Hand features an integrated medical silicone glove which has been engineered to
collapse and expand to allow the articulation of each digit. It has been designed for maximum
functionality with thick fingertips to prevent wear. The glove provides the surface coat for water
and dust resistance and so the Nexus Hand cannot be used without it. Another glove is not
necessary over the integrated one.
We have designed customisable covers that are bonded to the fingers and a dorsal/palmar
cover that interlocks at each side of the Nexus Hand which prevents the glove from migrating
and provides added protection for the user. They have been injection moulded from a clear
rigid plastic and painted on the inside to prevent discolouration. All covers are available in
four colours.
COVVI developed the digits to be robust by manufacturing them from a combination of stainless
steel and aluminium. The digits are equipped with individual springs that load the fingers and
thumb into passive extension. The Nexus Hand is spring-loaded to protect the design, if the
back of the finger or thumb is struck, the digits will fold forward rather than breaking.

There is no need for external Bluetooth, accelerometers, or RFID triggers with the Nexus Hand
as it has numerous switching options to give users fast access to a multitude of grips. To change
grips or tables the user can assign an open/open, long open hold or co-contraction signal, use
the dorsal button, the FSR sensors in the fingertips and pronate/supinate in dynamic mode.
