摘要: The disclosed wearable apparatus may include wearable apparatus includes a (1) device dimensioned to fit about a body part of a user, (2) a tensioning mechanism that harnesses to the device in a manner that is relative to the fit of the device about the body part of the user, and (3) an actuator couples to the tensioning mechanism that, when actuated, causes substantially tangential movement of the tensioning mechanism relative to a surface of the body part to produce substantially orthogonal movement of the device relative to the surface of the body part. Various other methods, systems, and/or computer-readable media are also disclosed.

摘要: A method for executing commands includes a wearable device with an inflatable bladder and a sensor integrated with the inflatable bladder. The method includes transitioning the inflatable bladder from an unpressurized state to a pressurized state. The inflatable bladder is associated with an executable command when in the pressurized state. The method further includes detecting, by the sensor, the magnitude of depression of the inflatable bladder and determining whether the magnitude of depression satisfies a predetermined threshold. When the magnitude of depression satisfies the predetermined threshold, the method executes the executable command.

摘要: A haptic device includes a network of motorized shear actuators. The shear actuators each include a drive mechanism and a lead screw having a threaded outer surface rotatably coupled to the drive mechanism and extending along a primary axis. A carriage is movably coupled to the lead screw by a nut having a threaded inner surface and is disposed within a chassis. One or more flexure springs are attached to the chassis and are configured to exert a reactive force to resist a force applied to the carriage in a direction orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to the primary axis. The flexure springs may cooperate with a stop mechanism to improve the mechanical robustness of the shear actuators under applied loads.

摘要: A haptic device is provided that includes a jamming assembly, anchored to the back of a user's hand, having (i) a jamming lever, (ii) an actuator to move the jamming lever from a first position to a second position different from the first position, and (iii) a slidable member configured to move back and forth in response to movement of a first of the user's fingers. The haptic device also includes an elongated element with opposing first and second end portions, where (i) the first end portion is anchored to a predefined portion of the user's first finger, and (ii) the second end portion is attached to an end portion of the slidable member. The jamming lever, when moved to the second position by the actuator, engages with a portion of the slidable member to prevent movement of the member, the elongated element, and the user's finger in a direction.
