The Right Trousers: October 2018 Newsletter

The leader of our User Studies team at the University of the West of England has written the final newsletter (for now!) for our users: The Right Trousers: Final Newsletter

As the newsletter says, this doesn’t mean our work on Wearable Soft Robotics is over! We’ll be applying for follow-on funding for new projects, pursuing clinical trials with our current devices, and we also hope to find a company or corporate sponsor that can move this technology from the lab to the wider world! Watch this space!

The Wearable Soft Robotics for Independent Living project is an £2 m ESPRC funded initiative spanning 7 universities. The aim of the project is to develop wearable soft robotic technologies which exhibit sophisticated sensing, actuation and control and can be fabricated into soft robotic clothing which will help disabled and older people move around easily and unaided. The soft robotic clothing will help vulnerable people avoid falls by supporting them whilst walking, give people added bionic strength to move between sitting and standing positions and help people climb stairs.
