Soft Robotics: Flexible and Stretchable Strain Sensing Actuator for Wearable Soft Robotic Applications (Adv. Mater. Technol. 3/2016)

Abstract

In article number 1600018, Chen Hua Yeow, Chwee Teck Lim, and co-workers present a strain sensing actuator for soft robotics applications. The sensing actuator comprises a highly stretchable and robust silver microstructured mesh network as the sensing element. It can be embedded in a glove for wearable rehabilitation application by sensing the extent of actuation.
