- Stronger, Smarter, Softer: Next-Generation Wearable Robots (2014, methodology): “Results For our early tethered prototype shown in Figure 1(a) and presented in [25], we demonstrated that a wearable, pneumatically powered soft exosuit can assist normal, unloaded walking with minimal changes to gait kinematics.”
- Wearable soft sensing suit for human gait measurement (2014, background): “In parallel, we have seen soft exosuits with rigid tendon-drive actuators (Galiana et al., 2012; Asbeck et al., 2013) transition to soft exosuits with soft pneumatic actuators (Park et al., 2014; Goldfield et al., 2012; Wehner et al., 2013).”
- Recent developments and challenges of lower extremity exoskeletons (2015, methodology): “…of Technology in Atsugi, Japan to help nurses transfer patients [47]; a soft lower extremity robotic exosuit was developed by Wehner et al [48] at Harvard University (Cambridge, MA, USA) to augment normal muscle function in healthy individuals; and an under-actuated leg exoskeleton for…”
- Materials that couple sensing, actuation, computation, and communication (2015, methodology): “Kinetic features, namely the occurrence of heel strike, are the primary features used for exosuit control [7, 8, 163]–actuation occurs at specific phases of a gait cycle, which are estimated from the frequency of the gait and a time delay from last heel strike.”
- A biologically inspired soft exosuit for walking assistance (2015, background): “Looking to create a wearable robot that implements these features, we have recently proposed a new paradigm in assistive device design, namely soft clothing-like ‘‘exosuits’’ (Asbeck et al., 2013; Wehner et al., 2013).”
