Fabric muscle with a cooling acceleration structure for upper limb assistance soft exosuits

Abstract Soft exosuits used for supporting human muscle strength must be lightweight and wearable. Shape memory alloy (SMA) spring-based fabric muscles (SFM) are light and flexible, making them suitable for soft and shape-conformable exosuits. However, SFMs have a slow actuation speed owing to the s...
