What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable robotics for human augmentation and performance enhancement, and how do they provide powered assistance, ergonomic support, or fatigue reduction for improving endurance, strength, or efficiency in physical activities and occupational tasks?
What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable robotics for human augmentation and performance enhancement, and how do they provide powered assistance, ergonomic support, or fatigue reduction for improving endurance, strength, or efficiency in physical activities and occupational tasks?
Examples include soft exoskeletons, pneumatic muscle actuators, and textile-based orthoses designed for lower limb assistance or upper limb support. These actuators apply assistive forces, reduce muscle fatigue, and support ergonomic movements, enhancing mobility, reducing injury risk, and improving work efficiency for users engaged in physically demanding activities or occupations.
