Development of a Soft Exosuit for Industrial Applications [PDF]

2018 7th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (Biorob), 2018
Wearable 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, 2013
In 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.

A biologically inspired soft exosuit for walking assistance

International Journal of Robotics Research, 2015
We present the design and evaluation of a multi-articular soft exosuit that is portable, fully autonomous, and provides assistive torques to the wearer at the ankle and hip during walking. Traditional rigid exoskeletons can be challenging to perfectly align with a wearer’s biological joints and can have large inertias, which can lead to the wearer ...

Design and embedded control of a soft elbow exosuit

2018 IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2018
The use of soft materials to transmit power to the human body has numerous advantages, amongst which safety and kinematic transparency stand out. In previous work we showed that a tethered fabric-based exosuit for the elbow joint, driven by an electric motor through a Bowden cable transmission, reduces the muscular effort associated with flexion ...

Autonomous Soft Exosuit for Hip Extension Assistance

, 2016
In this abstract, we describe a mono-articular soft exosuit to assist with hip extension during overground walking. The system is comprised of a mobile Bowden-cable-driven electrical actuation unit, soft textiles, and a load cell and an inertia measurement unit per leg.

Controlling negative and positive power at the ankle with a soft exosuit

2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016
The soft exosuit is a new approach for applying assistive forces over the wearer's body through load paths configured by the textile architecture. In this paper, we present a body-worn lower-extremity soft exosuit and a new control approach that can independently control the level of assistance that is provided during negative- and positive-power ...

Autonomous Multi-Joint Soft Exosuit for Assistance with Walking Overground

2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2018
Soft exosuits are a new approach for assisting with human locomotion, which applies assistive torques to the wearer through functional apparel. In this paper, we present a new version of autonomous multi-joint soft exosuit for gait assistance, particularly designed for overground walking. The soft exosuit assists with ankle plantarflexion, hip flexion,
