An Impedance-Controlled Testbed for Simulating Variations in the Mechanical Fit of Wearable Devices

Alexander B. Ambrose, Chelse VanAtter, Frank L. Hammond

IROS 2022poster

The fit of a wearable device, such as a prosthesis, can be quantitatively characterized by the mechanical coupling at the user-device interface. It is thought that the mechanical impedance, specifically the stiffness and damping, of wearable device interfaces can significantly impact human performan…

Soft Pneumatic System for Interface Pressure Regulation and Automated Hands-Free Donning in Robotic Prostheses

Alexander B. Ambrose, Frank L. Hammond

ICRA 2020poster

This paper discusses the design and preliminary evaluation of a soft pneumatic socket (SPS) with real-time pressure regulation and an automated underactuated donning mechanism (UDM). The ability to modulate the pressure at the human-socket interface of a prosthesis or wearable device to accommodate…
