  • Patent number: 11464700
    Abstract: In at least one aspect, there is provided a system for generating force about one or more joints including a soft exosuit having a plurality of anchor elements and at least one connection element disposed between the plurality of anchor elements. The system also includes at least one sensor to determine a force the at least one connection element or at least one of the plurality of anchor elements and to output signals relating to the force, at least one actuator configured to change a tension in the soft exosuit and at least one controller configured to receive the signals output from the at least one sensor and actuate the at least one actuator responsive to the received signals.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160038083
    Abstract: A garment for measuring one or more parameters of a wearer includes a base material configured to be worn by a wearer and a sensing component. The sensing component has a first elastic stretchability along a first axis and a second elastic stretchability along a second axis that is greater than the first elastic stretchability. The sensing component is integrated into a first location of the base material corresponding to a predetermined region of the wearer. The sensing component includes an electrically conductive material having an electrical resistance that changes with a change in a length of the sensing component. The sensing component includes at least one wire to electrically couple the electrically conductive material to a controller including a processor and a memory. The memory stores processor-executable instructions to cause the controller to determine a electrical resistance value across the sensing component via the at least one wire.
