Wearable 3.0: From Smart Clothing to Wearable Affective Robot
IEEE Network, 2019With the rapid development of science and technology and the accelerating pace of life, people's mental health problems have become increasingly prominent. Besides, traditional wearable technologies and affective computing technologies (i.e., Wearable 2.0 based on smart clothing) have been unable to meet the requirements brought by computation ...

Exoskeletal robots, i.e., robots integrated with the human body, have been developed since the 1960s, but these were initially not effective. Recently, these robots have been actively developed as wearable robots, with a wide range of practical applications expected for them in the near future.

Robomorphism: A Nonanthropomorphic Wearable Robot
IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2014This article describes a novel wearable robot (WR) intended to assist hip and knee flexion/ extension through series elastic actuators (SEAs). A nonanthropomorphic (NA) design was pursued to improve ergonomics while optimizing dynamic properties through a smart distribution of swinging masses. Once the anthropomorphism constraint is relaxed, the number

"Skil Mate" wearable exoskeleton robot
IEEE SMC'99 Conference Proceedings. 1999 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (Cat. No.99CH37028), 2003A wearable exoskeleton robot, Skil Mate, is a new concept that can assist skilled workers in power as well as in skill. Skil Mate is composed of servo mechanisms and haptic devices (tactile or slipping-off sensors/displays), so that it can follow the workers' movement. Skil Mate is suitable for work in hazardous environments such as in space, under sea,

Compliant Actuation for Wearable Robotics
2021The requirements of wearable robots such as robotic prostheses and exoskeletons differ considerably from those of traditional robots. These requirements are usually met well by compliant actuators, i.e., actuators which feature an elastic element. In this chapter, we explain how compliant actuators can solve the formidable actuation challenges inherent

“Wear it”—Wearable Robotic Musicians
2020Recent developments in wearable technology can help people with disabilities regain their lost capabilities, merging their biological body with robotic enhancements. Myoelectric prosthetic hands, for example, allow amputees to perform basic daily-life activities by sensing and analyzing electric activity from their residual limbs, which is then used to

Benchmarking lower limb wearable robots
Proceedings of the 8th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2015Lower limb wearable robots are entering an exciting era. An increasing number of solutions are moving out of the lab, approaching the everyday rehabilitation practice and home-based assistive scenarios. In this context, the quantitative assessment of the technology is crucial for its correct inclusion in the market. Nevertheless, the tool normally used

A Wearable Robotic Forearm for Human-Robot Collaboration
Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, 2018We describe a novel wearable robotic arm intended for close-range collaborative activities. Results from a user-centered iterative design procedure were applied to the development of a prototype, which was then evaluated in terms of workspace volume and loads on the user.
