The Myoshirt - wearable soft robotic assistance
The Myoshirt – a garment-like soft wearable robot – assists upper extremity movements without interfering with the natural movement of the user. We are looking for motivated students with an interest in robotics and human subject research to help us in the development and evaluation of the Myoshirt.
Keywords: robotics, exoskeleton, exosuit, werable robot, development, research, mechanics, embedded systems, control engineering, controls, controller, hardware analysis, biomechanics, medicine, human subject research, human subject trials, study, data analysis
Mobility impairments of the upper extremities are caused by various disorders such as stroke or myopathies, but also healthy ageing. As a result, patients cannot perform movements against gravity, and activities of daily living become challenging. The Myoshirt – a garment-like soft wearable robot – assists upper extremity movements without interfering with the natural movement of the user. We are currently developing the Myoshirt and evaluating its functionality on unimpaired and impaired users.
