This letter presents an automated sewing system designed for smart garment manufacturing, incorporating machine vision capabilities into a custom-built sewing machine. The vision system captures an image of the fabric pattern placed between two acrylic plates with a small opening, utilizing a deep l
We propose a soft robotic gripper that can handle various types of fabrics with delicacy for applications in the field of garment manufacturing. The design was inspired by the adhesion mechanism of a parasitic fish called `lamprey'. The proposed gripper not only is able to pick up and hold a single
We propose a soft robotic ankle-foot-orthosis for poststroke patients, which is inexpensive, lightweight, easy to wear, and capable of gait assistance for rehabilitation not only in the clinic but also in daily life. The device includes a 3D-printed flexible brace and an ankle support that allows na
