Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1600018, Chen Hua Yeow, Chwee Teck Lim, and co‐workers present a strain sensing actuator for soft robotics applications. The sensing actuator comprises a highly stretchable and robust silver microstructured mesh network as the sensing element. It can be embedded in a glove for wearable rehabilitation application by sensing the extent of actuation.
