Recent advances in the rapidly growing field of soft robotics highlight the potential for
innovations in wearable soft robotics to meet challenges and opportunities affecting …

Touch between people is an integral part of human life. Touch is used to convey information,
emotions, and other social cues. Still, everyday remote communication remains mainly …

Haptic devices typically rely on rigid actuators and bulky power supply systems, limiting
wearability. Soft materials improve comfort, but careful distribution of stiffness is required to …

Devices delivering sophisticated and natural haptic feedback often encompass numerous
mechanical elements, leading to increased sizes and wearability challenges. Shape …

We introduce–aSpire–a clippable, mobile pneumatic-haptic device designed to help users
regulate their breathing rate via subtle tactile feedback. aSpire can be easily clipped to a …

The ability to manage emotions effectively is critical to healthy psychological and social
development in youth. Prior work has focused on investigating the design of mental health …

SleeveIO is a modular and reconfigurable hardware platform for rapid prototyping of
multimodal wearable haptic feedback interactions. SleeveIO features engineered machine …

Humans have tactile sensory organs distributed all over the body. However, haptic devices
are often only created for one part (eg, hands, wrist, or face). We propose PneuMod, a …

To assist people in practicing mindful breathing and regulate their perceived workload while
not disturbing the ongoing foreground task during daily routines, we developed a mobile …

We investigated affective touch as a new pathway to passively mitigate in-the-moment
anxiety. While existing mobile interventions offer great promises for health and well-being …
