A sEMG-driven Soft ExoSuit based on Twisted String Actuators for Elbow Assistive Applications

Published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters

The scope of this work is to show the applicability of the Twisted String Actuators (TSAs) for lightweight, wearable and assistive robotic applications. To this aim, we have developed a novel surface electromyography (sEMG)-driven soft ExoSuit using the TSAs to perform both single and dual-arm elbow assistive applications. The proposed ExoSuit, wit...
