Lower Body Kinematics Monitoring in Running Using Fabric-Based Wearable Sensors and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Continuous kinematic monitoring of runners is crucial to inform runners of inappropriate running habits. Motion capture systems are the gold standard for gait analysis, but they are spatially limited to laboratories. Recently, wearable sensors have g...

A Novel Fabric Muscle Based on Shape Memory Alloy Springs.

Soft robotics
Fabric muscle is important for wearable robots that are soft, compliant, and silent with high contractility and high force. This study presents a novel shape memory alloy (SMA) spring-based fabric muscle (SFM). The SFM is manufactured by bundling SMA...

Stretchable pumps for soft machines.

Nature
Machines made of soft materials bridge life sciences and engineering. Advances in soft materials have led to skin-like sensors and muscle-like actuators for soft robots and wearable devices. Flexible or stretchable counterparts of most key mechatroni...

Artificial skin through super-sensing method and electrical impedance data from conductive fabric with aid of deep learning.

Scientific reports
Sense of touch is a major part of man's communication with their environment. Artificial skins can help robots to have the same sense of touch, especially for their social interactions. This paper presents a pressure mapping sensing using piezo-resis...
