, 2018 In this chapter we describe an alternative approach for assisting motion of the upper limbs using a wearable robotic device: designing a frame made of fabric (i.e., an exosuit) instead of metal reduces the weight, power requirements, and cosmetic impact ...

A soft exosuit for hip extension assistance of the elderly
Technology and Health Care, 2021BACKGROUND: Population aging is now a universal trend. Many elderly persons can only conduct limited and short time walking because of age-related skeletal muscle decline of the lower limbs. The wearable device for walking assistance is beneficial to improve the life quality of the elderly.

A Portable Soft Exosuit to Assist Stair Climbing with Hip Flexion
Electronics (Switzerland), 2023 Soft exosuits are an emerging class of robots that have been shown to significantly reduce the metabolic cost of daily human movement. However, most soft exosuits are currently being studied for walking and running, and relatively minor research has been

Biologically-inspired soft exosuit
2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), 2013In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a novel soft cable-driven exosuit that can apply forces to the body to assist walking. Unlike traditional exoskeletons which contain rigid framing elements, the soft exosuit is worn like clothing, yet can generate moments at the ankle and hip with magnitudes of 18% and 30% of those naturally ...

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.

Adaptive Model-Based Myoelectric Control for a Soft Wearable Arm Exosuit: A New Generation of Wearable Robot Control [PDF]
IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine, 2020 Despite advances in mechatronic design, the widespread adoption of wearable robots for supporting human mobility has been hampered by 1) ergonomic limitations in rigid exoskeletal structures and 2) the lack of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) capable of ...

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

Development of a soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation
2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017This paper presents the design, development and preliminary evaluation of a soft-inflatable exosuit for knee rehabilitation. Soft-inflatable actuators made of heat-sealable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) materials are fabricated in two different beam-like structures (I and O cross-section actuators) and mechanically characterized for their torque ...

Multi-joint soft exosuit for gait assistance
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015Exosuits represent a new approach for applying assistive forces to an individual, using soft textiles to interface to the wearer and transmit forces through specified load paths. In this paper we present a body-worn, multi-joint soft exosuit that assists both ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion through a multiarticular load path, and hip extension ...
