Soft Robotic Arms For Fall Mitigation: Design, Control And Evaluation, Param Malhotra
Soft Robotic Arms For Fall Mitigation: Design, Control And Evaluation, Param Malhotra
All Theses
Most fall mitigation devices present a heavy system that avoid injuries to the user by preventing the impact of a fall. They are dependent on the user capability or on the probability that the user falls in the assumed manner the system was designed for. Often that is not the case, hence this project initiates a novel concept of using soft robotic arms to prevent falls from happening in the first place itself and save the user from any injuries. This thesis describes the prototype and development of a soft continuum robotic backpack system. The system can validate its use …
