Topology Optimization of Exo‐Glove Poly II for Enhancing Functionality and Wearability
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.This study proposes a topology optimization method for Exo‐Glove Poly II to enhance functionality and wearability. By modeling its finger body as a longitudinally periodic structure, a unit cell‐level optimization—aimed at minimizing distortion and achieving user‐preferred stretchability—is established. Experimental validation shows reduced distortion,

A Soft Exosuit for Flexible Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2018 For stroke survivors and many other people with upper-extremity impairment, daily life can be difficult without properly functioning arms. Some modern physical therapy exercises focus on rehabilitating people with these troubles by correcting patients' perceptions of their own body to eventually regain complete control and strength over their arms ...

A Soft Pneumatic Exosuit to Assist Pronosupination in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.A lightweight (30 g) textile‐based pneumatic exosuit assists forearm pronosupination in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury. The soft robot enhances forearm range of motion and reduces muscle effort without hindering hand function. Tested in 10 patients during an interactive exergame, it improves motor performance and demonstrates promise for ...

A highly stretchable fibrous actuator with robust cyclic actuation and reprogrammable motions
InfoMat, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.We developed a stretchable fibrous actuator combining shape memory alloys and elastomers. It achieves 120% stretchability, 32% actuation strain, and output forces up to 4.3 N. The actuator demonstrates robust reversibility and reprogrammable motions, which enable applications such as a fibrous robot for pipe navigation, a wearable exoskeleton, and an ...
