“…Haptic interfaces, along with mechanical actuators can be used in prosthetics, to help retrieve the sense of touch in cases where it has been lost or impaired, or in remotely operated robots in settings that include teleoperated medical interventions [259], handling of materials in extreme environmental conditions [260], or aerospace research [261]. They are also vastly employed in the day-to-day and entertainment applications, such as feedback buttons in mobile phones, touchpads, or car dashboards (vibrate as a simple binary cue to inform of on or off states) [262].…”

The emergence of novel materials with flexible and stretchable characteristics, and the use of new processing technologies, have allowed for the development of new connected devices and applications. Using printed electronics, traditional electronic elements are being combined with flexible components and allowing for the development of new smart connected products. As a result, devices that are capable of sensing, actuating, and communicating remotely while being low-cost, lightweight, conformable, and easily customizable are already being developed. Combined with the expansion of the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and encryption algorithms, the overall attractiveness of these technologies has prompted new applications to appear in almost every sector. The exponential technological development is currently allowing for the “smartification” of cities, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, among others. In this review article, the steps towards this transition are approached, starting from the conceptualization of smart connected products and their main markets. The manufacturing technologies are then presented, with focus on printing-based ones, compatible with organic materials. Finally, each one of the printable components is presented and some applications are discussed.

“…In Exoskin [30], jamming is coupled with shape-change mechanisms to transfer the shape of an object to the hands of its wearer. The glove is demonstrated in the context of space exploration where wearing a thick space suit, although mandatory, suppresses haptic sensations with the environment.…”

“…As originally proposed in [30], it is possible to add channels to the jamming bladder in order to keep the particles at a specific position. This could be particularly useful when gravity is at play (the player is moving and thus the particles progressively fall in the same locations).…”

The suit can "freeze" users' body parts, for example during a game in order to provide the physical sensation of being frozen by an enemy. In this paper we first present the Frozen Suit concept and its potential applications. We then systematically investigate how to design jamming patches in order to sufficiently restrict an arm or a leg. In particular we used low-fidelity prototypes to explore the restricting power of different material and particles. In order to push this analysis further we conducted a controlled experiment in order to compare the perceived stiffness of different patches sizes attached to the elbow. We performed a paired comparison experience and used a Bradley-Terry-Luce model to analyze the subjective feedback from participants. We found that 20cm long x 7cm large is the most restrictive patch and that an increase in patch area correlates with an increase in perceived stiffness (quadratic). We finish by presenting a use case application with a game that we implemented where enemies can freeze the player.
