A Soft Pneumatic Actuator as a Haptic Wearable Device for Upper Limb Amputees: Toward a Soft Robotic Liner

RA-L 2019

Object manipulation and fluid, goal-directed, movements require sensory information for effective execution. Amputees lose this intrinsic feedback when controlling their artificial limbs and must instead rely on visual information to compensate. Here, we describe an application for providing touch a

A Soft Pneumatic Fabric-Polymer Actuator for Wearable Biomedical Devices: Proof of Concept for Lymphedema Treatment

ICRA 2018poster

Soft actuators are ideal candidates for wearable biomedical devices, their inherent compliance, robustness, lightweight and the possibility to be washable take advantage over rigid actuators. Thus, a soft pneumatic fabric-polymer bending actuator as a base component for a robotic device for lymphede…
