Abstract	This paper introduces the SEM Glove (Soft Extra Muscle Glove), a comfortable aid which automatically improves the grasping capability of a human independently of the particular task being performed. The technical solution partly mimics a biological solution and at the same time functions in symbiosis with the biological system. The technical invention is also applicable to other parts or regions of the human body that might need supporting forces or torques. A key feature is that a controlling and strengthening effect is achieved without the need for an external mechanical structure in the form of an exoskeleton. The paper includes a description of the physical design, the contents and the system design.
