In this paper, we present a soft wearable robot for the shoulder which has the potential to assist individuals suffering from a range of neuromuscular conditions affecting the shoulder to perform activities of daily living. This wearable robot combines two types of soft textile pneumatic actuators which were custom developed for this particular application to support the upper arm through shoulder...
In this paper, we present the first application of a soft exosuit to assist walking after stroke. The exosuit combines textile garments with cable driven actuators and is lighter and more compliant as compared to traditional rigid exoskeletons. By avoiding the use of rigid elements, exosuits offer greater comfort, facilitate donning/doffing, and do not impose kinematic restrictions on the wearer -...
A new method for fabricating textile integrable capacitive soft strain sensors is reported, based on multicore–shell fiber printing. The fiber sensors consist of four concentric, alternating layers of conductor and dielectric, respectively. These wearable sensors provide accurate and hysteresis‐free strain measurements under both static and dynamic conditions.
C. J. Walsh, J. A. Lewis, and co‐workers report a new method for fabricating capacitive soft strain sensors via multicore‐shell fiber printing as shown on page 2440. These fiber sensors consist of four concentric, alternating layers of ionic fluid and silicone elastomer that serve as conductive and dielectric materials, respectively. The image highlights both multicore‐shell fiber printing using model...
