Synopsis:
Soft and Wearable robotics are novel approaches to robotics that investigates unconventional elastic materials taking advantage of the intrinsic dynamics of deformable materials to enhance flexibility and controllability. This relatively new technology has the potential to revolutionise the robotics field as it provides many benefits including low cost, light weight, intrinsic safety and the ability to deform to objects and obstacles with applications in various fields such as wearable robotics and to augment human movements in disable and elderly people or enhancing workforce mobility.
