Project Brief

 

  • The SWAG project is a multidisciplinary initiative in the field of soft robotics, focusing on the development of lower limb exosuits: soft wearable exoskeletal robots to empower the lower body and core.

  • The project aims to replace traditional rigid materials found in exoskeletons, with high-strength, inflatable fabrics and sensing films to create smart, human assistive,
    soft and lightweight garments. The envisioned exosuits will ensure user comfort and safety, while remaining virtually undetected, invisible under clothing due to their garment-like design.

  • SWAG exosuits will empower humans in their daily activities, from occupational assistance, to daily mobility, fitness and immersive entertainment.
