Abstract

In article number 2008278, Vanessa Sanchez, Conor J. Walsh, and Robert J. Wood review the state of the art in textile-based wearable robots. The application areas for textile robots and their diverse needs drive materials innovations for textile actuators, sensors, and integration elements. Advances in materials and production technologies suggest a future of additively manufactured wearables where function is programmed at the fiber and fabric level.
