#  Textile Exosuit Design 

 



Our lab creates innovative textile components based upon human biomechanics and anatomy. These wearable garments provide provide means to transmit assistive torques to a wearer’s joints without the use of rigid, external structures. To perform well, these components must attach securely and comfortably while transmitting forces over the body through force paths that create biologically-appropriate moments at the joints. A benefit of this approach is that, when the actuation segments are slack, the textile garments become transparent, making the exosuit feel like wearing a pair of pants without restricting the wearer. Our team includes a team of apparel and industrial designers, who specialize in textile sourcing, development, construction, concept and prototype iteration, fit, human factors, and ergonomics.
