Soft exosuit for hip assistance
Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 2015Abstract Exoskeletons comprised of rigid load-bearing structures have been developed for many years, but a new paradigm is to create “exosuits” that apply tensile forces to the body using textiles and utilize the body’s skeletal structure to support compressive forces.

Individually optimized exosuit
Science, 2018Medical Robots Like a regular suit, a wearable exosuit can be customized for the individual. Ding et al. tested a hip-extension device on eight adult male volunteers. The device reduced the energy required to walk, and the authors' approach tailored the assistance for each wearer.

An Anthropomorphic Soft Exosuit for Hand Rehabilitation
2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), 2019Functional impairment of the hand, for example after a stroke, can be partially improved by intensive training. This is currently done by physiotherapy and the optimal intensity of hand rehabilitation programs is usually not reached due to a lack in human resources (high costs) and patients fatigue. In this work a cost-effective soft exosuit to support

Soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation
2017 International Symposium on Wearable Robotics and Rehabilitation (WeRob), 2017In the case of individuals with paresis, generation of the required knee-extension moment, so as to perform common mobility tasks, is partially lost [1], [2]. Robotic solutions such as rigid exoskeletons are often heavy and bulky and may lead to discomfort and increased dependency on supervised physical therapy.

Solving the surgeon ergonomic crisis with surgical exosuit
Surgical Endoscopy, 2017The widespread adoption of laparoscopic surgery has put new physical demands on the surgeon leading to increased musculoskeletal disorders and injuries. Shoulder, back, and neck pains are among the most common complaints experienced by laparoscopic surgeons.

Development of a Soft Exosuit for Industrial Applications
2018 7th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (Biorob), 2018Wearable robotic devices and exoskeletons, that assist human beings in physically-demanding tasks have the potential to both increase productivity and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Soft exoskeletons, known as exosuit, provide improved portability and fit.

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.
