Concept of a soft exosuit for the support of leg function in rehabilitation

, 2015
In the past couple of years, the concept of exosuits has emerged. These soft, robotic devices are primarily made of textiles and can be worn like clothes.

An Exosuit System With Bidirectional Hand Support for Bilateral Assistance Based on Dynamic Gesture Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Hand motor impairment has seriously affected the daily life of the elderly. We developed an electromyography (EMG) exosuit system with bidirectional hand support for bilateral coordination assistance based on a dynamic gesture recognition model using ...

User-Tailored Learning to Forecast Walking Modes for Exosuits

CoRR
Assistive robotic devices, like soft lower-limb exoskeletons or exosuits, are widely spreading with the promise of helping people in everyday life. To make such systems adaptive to the variety of users wearing them, it is desirable to endow exosuits with advanced perception systems.

Design and development of a semi-rigid hip exoskeleton

, 2020
Robotic exoskeletons can reduce metabolic cost of walking in healthy individuals and populations with gait impairments. About 40% of the metabolic cost comes from the hip muscles. Different groups have been developing rigid exoskeletons and soft exosuits

Understanding Human-Exosuit Interaction via Physical Interfaces

, 2019
For many populations with the complications of locomotor disability, exoskeletons (i.e., rigid exoskeletons, soft exosuits, and other wearable assistive devices) give promise of increasing mobility and reducing secondary conditions, improving quality of ...
