What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in wearable technology and assistive devices, and how do they provide powered assistance and mobility support for individuals with physical disabilities or age-related mobility impairments in walking, grasping, or performing daily activities?

Examples include soft pneumatic actuators, shape-memory alloy actuators, and dielectric elastomer actuators used in soft exoskeletons, prosthetic limbs, or wearable assistive devices. These actuators generate motion with compliance and adaptability, providing users with powered assistance and support for mobility tasks, rehabilitation therapy, or activities of daily living, enhancing independence and quality of life for individuals with diverse mobility needs.
