Soft Robotic Elbow Exoskeleton

Wearable RoboticsSoft ActuatorsAssistive RoboticsPneumatic Systems

Wearable soft robotic exoskeleton using a large pneumatic silicone actuator that wraps the elbow joint — when inflated, it provides assistive torque during arm flexion for rehabilitation applications.

  • Designed wearable geometry for a soft pneumatic actuator wrapping the elbow joint
  • Sized large-scale silicone actuator to provide assistive torque during arm flexion
  • Developed attachment geometry and pneumatic control integration
