A Variable Stiffness Exosuit for Walking Assistance

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2022
Abstract Robotic exoskeleton takes an important role in walking assistance for subjects with lower extremity impairment. However, most of the existing robotic exoskeletons are bulky and complicated in the mechanical structure, placing a large load on the wearer.

Scalable High‐Force Zipping Electrostatic Actuators

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
An electrostatic actuator architecture is presented that combines high energy density with forces and strokes suited for wearable soft robotics. By folding patterned thin films into a scalable honeycomb of zipping units, performance becomes tunable through series–parallel design, achieving over 40 N and 28 J/kg.

Force and Torque Characterization in the Actuation of a Walking-Assistance, Cable-Driven Exosuit

Sensors, 2022
Soft exosuits stand out when it comes to the development of walking-assistance devices thanks to both their higher degree of wearability, lower weight, and price compared to the bulkier equivalent rigid exoskeletons.
