Abstract

Textile based technologies can generate solutions highly adaptable with wearable robots and devices. Textile jamming (TJ) is a stiffness modulating technique with elaborated textile materials. The fabric with embedded miniature and rigid segments remain flexible due to the textile substrate while they present a high variation of stiffness (up to 17 times) in their stiff mode. The resulted TJ packs can be assembled by traditional sewing technique to the textile garments.
