The HOPE Hand exoskeleton is a motor aid for individuals with hypertonicity and spasticity. This project develops a voice control system for the HOPE Hand which is trained for Broca’s aphasia, a communication disorder which often impacts this population. A database was created using vocalizations of typical and aphasic speech collected from participants in conjunction with open source datasets. AI models were modified and trained on these data to identify users and recognize commands, then integrated with the HOPE Hand.
