Study on Wiring and Mounting Structures for Smart Suits with Actuators

Abstract

This study aims to develop smart suits that can press vibration motors against the body at the constant pressure to provide tactile feedback to the whole body. The structure using hyperelastic foam was proposed. The pressure was stable from 1.5 kPa to 2.0 kPa. The wiring structure that combines conductive fibers and flexible printed board were proposed to prevent inhabitation of movement and breakage.
