This 18-year-old invented an exoskeleton glove for the disabled
Teen inventor Charalampos Ioannou from Greece has developed an
exoskeleton glove that helps disabled users pick up everyday
objects. The achievement earned him one of 15 spots on the
International Google Science Fair competition.  The exoskeleton
glove also made him the youngest speaker to date at the Athens
TEDx conference.  Ioannou got the idea after seeing his
grandmother struggle with a remote control. The glove was
developed specifically for those with upper-hand disabilities.
To that end, the device can be controlled by the user's kinetic
movements. Users can also control it such that the appropriate
level of pressure or strength can be exerted for specific tasks
(e.g. it can be used for hammering or picking up an egg).   Top
