Quantifying Ergonomics in the Elevate Soft Robotic Suit
Peter Bryan, Rejin John Varghese, Dario Farina
Soft robotic suits have the potential to rehabilitate, assist, and augment the human body. The low weight, cost, and minimal form-factor of these devices make them ideal for daily…
Switch-based Independent Antagonist Actuation with a Single Motor for a Soft Exosuit
Atharva Vadeyar, Rejin John Varghese, Etienne Burdet +1
The use of a cable-driven soft exosuit poses challenges with regards to the mechanical design of the actuation system, particularly when used for actuation along multiple degrees o…
Design and Preliminary Evaluation of a Torso Stabiliser for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Rejin John Varghese, Man-Yan Tong, Isabella Szczech +4
Spinal cord injuries generally result in sensory and mobility impairments, with torso instability being particularly debilitating. Existing torso stabilisers are often rigid and re…
Space Physiology and Technology: Musculoskeletal Adaptations, Countermeasures, and Opportunities for Wearable Systems
Shamas Ul Ebad Khan, Rejin John Varghese, Panagiotis Kassanos +2
Space poses significant challenges for humans, leading to physiological adaptations in response to an environment vastly different from Earth. A comprehensive understanding of thes…
