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.
