Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore<\/a>), have developed a flexible wearable fabric<\/a> called RoboFabric that can stiffen on demand. Developed through a combination of geometric design, 3D printing, and robotic control, the new technology can quickly be made into medical devices or soft robotics, such as limbs for drones. The NTU research team has developed an elbow support from the versatile material, helping people carry heavier loads. A wrist support prototype has also been made, which could help stabilise joints for daily activities and benefit patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease who experience trembling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The innovative wearable fabric inspired by pangolins and armadillos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the scales of pangolins and armadillos which interlock to form a protective shell, the first step in making the patent-pending technology is an advanced mathematical algorithm that designs an interlocking system of tiles. The 3D-printed tiles are then joined together by metal fibres running through tiny channels between them, or by an external soft case, which requires negative air pressure or vacuum to be applied constantly. When the fibres are contracted, the tiles interlock and stiffen, increasing the rigidity of RoboFabric over 350 times and providing additional strength and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n

According to the research team\u2019s findings published in the scientific journal Advanced Materials, human muscle activity can be reduced by up to 40 per cent when the device assists joints while lifting loads. Lead scientist, Nanyang Assistant Professor Wang Yifan from the NTU School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, said that they were inspired by how animals often have multiple functionalities for their limbs through the use of intricate structures, much like the shape-morphing and stiffness-variation in octopuses. Yifan continued as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe envision that in future, patients who need a plaster cast for fractures would have the option of customising a flexible limb support that is fabric-like before stiffening. Unlike conventional rigid and unremovable casts, they would also be easy to put on or remove at the touch of a button. In daily use, joint supports can also help the elderly in their daily tasks, helping to reduce the muscle strength needed for heavier loads.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customised joint support can be 3D printed in an hour<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To customise the joint support, a 3D scan of a wrist or the elbow is uploaded to proprietary software, through which a special algorithm can automatically dissect a 3D model into dozens of geometric tiles that can be 3D printed in just an hour. The metal fibres must then be threaded through the holes between the tiles and connected to an electric device that can quickly tighten or loosen the cables. This threading process is currently done by hand, but the team says it could be automated in future, similar to how badminton racquets are re-strung using a machine.<\/p>\n\n\n

RoboFabric holds promise in rehabilitation medicine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Giving a comment on the RoboFabric technology, Adjunct Associate Professor Loh Yong Joo, Head and Senior Consultant at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), said the NTU invention holds some promise for applications in rehabilitation medicine. \u201cThis technology could be potentially useful in several cases, such as individuals with joint injuries, as it could allow safe adjustment of movement range during recovery. For those with upper limb motor weakness, such as post-stroke patients, RoboFabric could provide support to perform some functional tasks,\u201d said Joo, who is also the Director of Clinical Innovations at TTSH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joo also mentioned that additionally, individuals with movement disorders like Parkinson\u2019s disease may benefit from the stability RoboFabric offers, which stabilises the movement trajectory to complete functional tasks safely, noted; \u201cIf adapted for knee applications in future, it may even serve as a stabilising orthosis to improve gait patterns and help prevent falls.\u201d It is stated that RoboFabric could also be applied in robotics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
