This contribution discusses the advanced technologies integration: the PERCRO Light-Exoskeleton and the PERCRO Data-Glove wherein the main pursuit is the enhancement of the human grasping skills inside virtual environments. The mastering of motor human skills for taking up, lifting or manipulating objects during grasping tasks, could be effectively enhanced thanks to the inclusion of an arm exoskeleton which provides arm haptic-guidance-positioning (HGPo) into spatial coordinates and the data-glove for hand dexterity practicing. This paper takes into account a synergetic fusion of theoretical concepts and practical developments, pointing out the feasibility of having robust and accurate hand/arm haptic-robotic guidance positioning within virtual reality environments. Notice that those applications demand high precision, robustness, repeatability and hand/arm dexterity; such a mentioned properties are covered by the proposed system.
