Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soft wearable robots hold immense promise due to their potential to revolutionize various aspects of human life. Unlike traditional rigid exoskeletons, soft wearable robots offer lightweight, flexible, and comfortable solutions that seamlessly integrate with the human body. This innovation opens doors to numerous applications, including assistance for individuals with mobility impairments, the augmentation of human strength and endurance in industrial settings, and the facilitation of rehabilitation processes. Moreover, soft wearable robots have the capacity to enhance human performance in sports and physical activities, while minimizing the risk of injury.
Exploring the intersection of engineering, material science, and human–computer interactions, this Special Issue aims to gather the latest advancements in the design and implementation of soft wearable robots. We welcome contributions that address topics such as the use of exosuits to boost human performance, assistive devices that aid rehabilitation, and potential transformative impacts on healthcare, industry, and daily living.
