Actuation design and assistive control for a soft wearable exosuit [PDF]

, 2020
The development of a portable assistive device to aid patients affected by neuromuscular disorders has been the ultimate goal of assistive robots since the late 1960s. Traditional robotic devices have been engineered to assist the users' limbs in both activities of daily living (ADLs) and physical therapy, mostly consisting of load-bearing exoskeletons
