Developing wearable robotic actuators by imitating the fiber activation patterns is an encouraging way to improve performance of robotics. Existing actuation systems cannot provide efficient assistance and accurate force delivery for human users. In this article, we develop a bionic multimodal compliant system based on scissor-epicyclic clutch mechanism that can fast twitch fibers (FTFs) contraction assistance, slow (STFs) or almost transform into transparent device efficiently. addition,...
