A Preliminary Study to Design and Evaluate Pneumatically Controlled Soft Robotic Actuators for a Repetitive Hand Rehabilitation Task

open access: yesBiomimetics, 2022
A stroke is an infarction in the cortical region of the brain that often leads to isolated hand paresis. This common side effect renders individuals compromised in their ability to actively flex or extend the fingers of the affected hand. While there are

Compliant Electric Actuators Based on Handed Shearing Auxetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we explore a new class of electric motor-driven compliant actuators based on handed shearing auxetic cylinders. This technique combines the benefits of compliant bodies from soft robotic actuators with the simplicity of direct coupling to ...

Geometry-based customization of bending modalities for 3D-printed soft pneumatic actuators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this work, we propose a novel type of 3D-printed soft pneumatic actuator that allows geometry-based customization of bending modalities. While motion in the 3D-space has been achieved for several types of soft actuators, only 2D-bending has been ...

Towards an Extensive Thumb Assist: A Comparison between Whole-Finger and Modular Types of Soft Pneumatic Actuators

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Soft pneumatic actuators used in robotic rehabilitation gloves are classified into two types: whole-finger actuators with air chambers that cover the entire finger and modular actuators with chambers only above the finger joints. Most existing prototypes

A Non-Invasive, Soft Robotic Wearable Glove to Attenuate Hand Tremors

open access: yesJournal of Student Research, 2022
Hand tremors are a widespread medical condition that decreases a patient’s quality of life. Due to uncontrollable hand shaking, patients have difficulty completing essential daily tasks. Many also experience embarrassment and anxiety in social settings, which negatively affects many areas of their lives.
