MotorSkins: the metamaterial that is changing people’s lives through assisted movement
By integrating soft robotics into textiles, MotorSkins bridges the gap between science and design with a novel metamaterial based on fluidic circuits and material arrangements. Without requiring an external battery or motor, MotorSkins textiles tackle muscle weakness and disability through specialized active garments and revolutionize human-machine interaction through haptics and more intuitive interfaces.The research behind
