Abstract: Pathological tremors can often be debilitating to activities of daily living and significantly affect the quality of life. Such tremulous movements are commonly observed in wrist flexion-extension (FE). To suppress this tremor we present a wearable robot (WR) with a customized mechanical metamaterial (MM) as the physical human-robot interface (pHRI). The MM is optimized to conform to the user’s wrist posture and follow the hand’s Cartesian trajectory. This is done to minimize the shear between the pHRI and the… Show more
