Cover Feature: Myoelectric Origami‐Based Soft Robotic Knee Exoskeleton to Enhance Sit‐to‐Stand Assistance in Elderly Populations (Adv. Intell. Syst. 4/2026)
Abstract
Soft Robotic Exoskeletons This work presents a soft robotic knee exoskeleton based on a Miura origami structure. The vacuum-driven actuator leverages the geometric folding pattern to achieve high contraction and compliant force output while remaining lightweight. By integrating sensing and control, the system provides stable and adaptive assistance during lower-limb movement, highlighting the potential of origami-based structures for wearable rehabilitation robotics. More details can be found in the Research Article by Yuchuan Jia, Chen-Hua Yeow, and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/aisy.202501036).
