Low Hysteresis Wearable Robotic Sensor for Human Motion Measurement

The integration of strain sensors into wearable materials allows for the capture of complex movements without the use of expensive equipment. This research will use hydrogels to create a sensor that is highly elastic and has super low hysteresis. The low hysteresis will minimize the sensor measurement error leading to precise control of exosuits and other wearable robotics in addition to motion measurement.
