Soft strain sensors have been explored as an unobtrusive approach for wearable motion tracking. However, accurate tracking of multi degree-of-freedom (DOF) noncyclic joint movements remains a challenge. This paper presents a soft sensing shirt for tracking shoulder kinematics of both cyclic and rand…
The development of soft, compliant force sensors is greatly sought after in areas such as soft robotics and prosthetics. Nevertheless, solutions for measuring forces in multiple axes, while being mechanically compliant, have been few and far between. Here we present a compliant sensor able to detect…
Wearable robotic systems which aid or enhance human performance are the subject of substantial ongoing research efforts. Soft exosuits to assist with walking represent one class of system that leverage textiles and apparel to provide a lightweight and nonrestrictive means to interface to the lower e…
