Harvard Biodesign Lab - Soft Exosuits Group
The Harvard Biodesign Lab's Soft Exosuits group develops next-generation soft wearable robots using innovative textiles to provide conformal, unobtrusive interfaces with the human body. These systems augment capabilities of healthy individuals and assist those with muscle weakness or neurological disorders, offering advantages over rigid exoskeletons by leaving joints unconstrained.
Notable achievements
Soft exosuit technology, textile-based wearable robotics, assistive devices for movement augmentation
