Textiles have emerged as a promising class of materials for developing wearable robots that move and feel like everyday clothing. Textiles represent a favorable material platform for wearable robots due to their flexibility, low weight, breathability, and soft hand‐feel. Textiles also offer a unique level of programmability because of their inherent hierarchical nature, enabling researchers to modify and tune properties at several interdependent material scales. With these advantages and capabilities in mind, roboticists have begun to use textiles, not simply as substrates, but as functional components that program actuation and sensing. In parallel, materials scientists are developing new materials that respond to thermal, electrical, and hygroscopic stimuli by leveraging textile structures for function. Although textiles are one of humankind's oldest technologies, materials scientists and roboticists are just beginning to tap into their potential. This review provides a textile‐centric survey of the current state of the art in wearable robotic garments and highlights metrics that will guide materials development. Recent advances in textile materials for robotic components (i.e., as sensors, actuators, and integration components) are described with a focus on how these materials and technologies set the stage for wearable robots programmed at the material level.

Featured with high polarization and large electric field‐induced phase transition, PbZrO3‐based antiferroelectric (AFE) materials are regarded as prospective candidates for energy‐storage applications. However, systematical studies on PbZrO3‐based materials are insufficient because of their complex chemical compositions and various phase structures. In this work, (Pb0.94La0.04)(Zr1‐x‐ySnxTiy)O3 (abbreviated as PLZST, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5, 0.01 ≤ y ≤ 0.1) AFE system was selected and the energy‐storage behavior was regulated. It is found that low Ti content benefits to obtain satisfactory electric breakdown strength, realizing high energy‐storage density. With Sn content increasing, the electric hysteresis decreases gradually, which is beneficial to improve energy conversion efficiency. As a result, a large recoverable energy‐storage density of 9.6 J/cm3 and a high energy conversion efficiency of 90.2% were achieved in (Pb0.94La0.04)(Zr0.49Sn0.5Ti0.01)O3 ceramic. This work reveals energy‐storage behavior of PLZST AFE materials systematically, providing reference for performance tailoring and new material designing in energy‐storage applications.

Compared with traditional electronic devices, wearable strain sensors have many unique properties to adapt to human activities, such as good biocompatibility, mechanical flexibility, real-time monitoring, durability, and non-invasiveness ( Souri et al., 2020 ). So far, many wearable strain sensors have been developed by incorporating advanced functional materials into stretchable support substrates ( Choi et al., 2019 ).…”
