Although rigid exoskeletons can strengthen human capabilities or provide full assistance to patients with disabilities, their rigidity may constrain natural movement, developing tissue damage in long-term usage. Soft and semi-soft exoskeletons and exosuits exhibit both compliance and comfort, and of
Unstructured environments call for versatile robots with adaptable morphology that can perform multiple goal-directed actions including locomotion in confined spaces, environmental mapping, object retrieval and object manipulation. In response to these challenges, we present the Polyflex design conc
Upper limb impairments and weakness are com-mon post-stroke and with advanced aging. Rigid exoskeletons have been developed as a potential solution, but have had limited impact. In addition to user concerns about safety, their weight and appearance, the rigid attachment and typical anchoring methods…
Upper limb robotic prosthetic devices currently lack adequate sensory feedback, contributing to a high rejection rate. Incorporating affective sensory feedback into these devices reduces phantom limb pain and increases control and acceptance. To address the lack of sensory feedback we present the B:
