Towards Accessible Mobility Support: User-Centered Design of a Passive, Multi-Functional, Low-Cost Knee Exoskeleton

Walking aids are critical for people with mobility impairments, yet current options remain unsatisfactory. Static knee braces are lightweight and affordable, but their rigid joints force users into unnatural gait patterns, leading to fatigue, reduced safety, and high abandonment rates. Robotic exoskeletons, in contras…

Personalized Bistable Orthoses for Rehabilitation of Finger Joints

Orthoses are essential components of rehabilitation yet limited in functionality. Static braces immobilize joints, which especially for hand and finger injuries, interfere with users’ daily activities. Additionally, early mobilization schedules require users to take off and reapply their static orthoses frequently, wh…

Wearable Material Properties: Passive Wearable Microstructures as Adaptable Interfaces for the Physical Environment

Users interact with static objects daily, but their preferences and needs may vary. Making the objects dynamic or adaptable requires updating all objects. Instead, we propose a novel wearable interface that empowers users to adjust perceived material properties. To explore such wearable interfaces, we design unit cel…

ConeAct: A Multistable Actuator for Dynamic Materials

Complex actuators in a small form factor are essential for dynamic interfaces. In this paper, we propose ConeAct, a cone-shaped actuator that can extend, contract, and bend in multiple directions to support rich expression in dynamic materials. A key benefit of our actuator is that it is self-contained and portable as…

Parametric Haptics: Versatile Geometry-based Tactile Feedback Devices

Haptic feedback is important for immersive, assistive, or multimodal interfaces, but engineering devices that generalize across applications is notoriously difficult. To address the issue of versatility, we propose Parametric Haptics, geometry-based tactile feedback devices that are customizable to render a variety of…
