“…Fourth, tensile strength is crucial when researching wearable suits with elastic bands (Cha et al, 2022). Waist and lower extremity support in industrial wearable robots typically bear loads of 3-4 kg or 60%, whereas upper-extremity wearable robots can assist with loads ranging from 4 kg up to a maximum of 40 kg (Lee and Park, 2020).…”

PurposeThe objective of this study was to develop wearable suit platforms with various anchoring structure designs with the intention of improving wearability and enhancing user satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThis study selected fabrics and materials for the suit platform through material performance tests. Two anchoring structure designs, 11-type and X-type are compared with regular clothing under control conditions. To evaluate the comfort level of the wearable suit platform, a satisfaction survey and electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements are conducted to triangulate the findings.FindingsThe 11-type exhibited higher values in comfort indicators such as α, θ, α/High-β and lower values in concentration or stress indicators such as β, ϒ, sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)+Mid-β/θ, and a spectral edge frequency of 95% compared to the X-type while walking. The 11-type offers greater comfort and satisfaction compared to the X-type when lifting based on the EEG measurements and the participants survey.Originality/valueIt is recommended to implement the 11-type when designing wearable suit platforms. These findings offer essential data on wearability, which can guide the development of soft wearable robots.
