Wearable Robot Mechanism

Wearable robot mechanisms aim to integrate robotic functionalities directly into clothing or other body-worn devices, primarily to enhance human capabilities or provide therapeutic interventions. Current research emphasizes the development of lightweight, adaptable designs, often employing innovative linkage mechanisms or soft robotics approaches to achieve precise control and comfortable interaction with the human body. This field is driven by the need for safer human-robot collaboration, improved rehabilitation tools, and more effective assistive technologies, with applications ranging from industrial settings to healthcare.
