What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in assistive robotics for individuals with disabilities or age-related limitations, and how do they provide personalized support, adaptive assistance, or rehabilitation therapy for improving mobility, independence, and quality of life in daily activities such as walking, grasping, or self-care?
What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in assistive robotics for individuals with disabilities or age-related limitations, and how do they provide personalized support, adaptive assistance, or rehabilitation therapy for improving mobility, independence, and quality of life in daily activities such as walking, grasping, or self-care?
Examples include soft exoskeletons, wearable orthoses, and robotic prostheses designed for lower limb assistance or upper limb support. These actuators apply assistive forces, correct movement patterns, or compensate for muscle weakness, enabling individuals with disabilities to walk, stand, or perform functional tasks with reduced effort and improved safety, enhancing mobility and autonomy in daily living.
