SUMMARY:MSE Seminar: "Textile Materials for Soft Wearable Robotics" (Stanford University)
DESCRIPTION:Wearable robots and devices—garments with embedded elements that actuate to change shape or apply forces to the wearer\, typically based on signals from integrated sensors—offer promise for assistive and augmentative applications including rehabilitative gloves\, haptic devices\, and dynamically thermoregulating clothing. Early iterations of wearables from the 50s and 60s primarily took the form of rigid exoskeletons; however\, in the past twenty years\, a growing subset of this field has transitioned to the use of soft components and materials to improve portability\, accessibility\, fit\, and comfort\, guided in part by advances in the related field of soft robotics. Based on the unique requirements for wearables\, including personalization for varied bodies and low cost for accessibility\, automated and highly customizable textile-compatible materials and manufacturing strategies must be developed to support the fabrication and integration of all the necessary components (sensors\, actuators\, interconnections). This seminar will explore the intersection of knowledge from the field of textile materials and manufacturing with the needs of soft robots and devices\, specifically focusing on wearable applications\, including performance metrics\, material and component choices\, and fabrication strategies. Several integrated design and fabrication platforms will be presented in the context of their ability to create constituent components for wearable robots and devices.
