A lightweight soft exosuit for gait assistance
2013 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2013In this paper we present a soft lower-extremity robotic exosuit intended to augment normal muscle function in healthy individuals. Compared to previous exoskeletons, the device is ultra-lightweight, resulting in low mechanical impedance and inertia. The exosuit has custom McKibben style pneumatic actuators that can assist the hip, knee and ankle.

Multi-joint soft exosuit for gait assistance
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015Exosuits represent a new approach for applying assistive forces to an individual, using soft textiles to interface to the wearer and transmit forces through specified load paths. In this paper we present a body-worn, multi-joint soft exosuit that assists both ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion through a multiarticular load path, and hip extension ...

A review of upper-limb soft exosuit
Theoretical and Natural Science, 2023A rigid exoskeleton has been developed for decades, and its feasibility has been proven in many areas, such as rehabilitation. Unlike the rigid exoskeleton, the soft exosuit provides a new insight for wearable robotics development and has drawn much attention as the external muscles instead of exoskeletons, especially for supporting users activities of

A biologically inspired soft exosuit for walking assistance
The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2015We present the design and evaluation of a multi-articular soft exosuit that is portable, fully autonomous, and provides assistive torques to the wearer at the ankle and hip during walking. Traditional rigid exoskeletons can be challenging to perfectly align with a wearer’s biological joints and can have large inertias, which can lead to the wearer ...

ExoFlex: An Upper-Limb Cable-Driven Exosuit
2019This paper presents ExoFlex, an upper-limb flexible exoskeleton (exosuit) intended for assistance in elbow and shoulder rehabilitation therapies. The soft nature of the device allows it to easily adapt to human biomechanics. The presented exosuit is equipped with a cable-driven transmission in which torque is generated by two direct current (DC) motors.

Autonomous Soft Exosuit for Hip Extension Assistance
2016In this abstract, we describe a mono-articular soft exosuit to assist with hip extension during overground walking. The system is comprised of a mobile Bowden-cable-driven electrical actuation unit, soft textiles, and a load cell and an inertia measurement unit per leg.

A soft wearable elbow exosuit: design considerations
2018In this chapter we describe an alternative approach for assisting motion of the upper limbs using a wearable robotic device: designing a frame made of fabric (i.e., an exosuit) instead of metal reduces the weight, power requirements, and cosmetic impact of the system. Specifically, we focus on the design of an exosuit for assisting elbow movements.
