Fabric Robotic Suit for Torso Movement Guidance

In this research, we are developing a fabric robotic suit that provides torso movement guidance based on our proposed concept of "Augmented Haptics," which presents deformed force-tactile sensations to users.
This fabric robotic suit enables users to receive directional information in immersive environments even without visual information.
