dc.description.abstractSoft wearable robots have been gaining increasing popularity for enhancing human physical abilities and assisting people who have physical limitations. These robots typically use tendon-driven mechanisms (TDMs) to enable remote actuation to provide better usability with compact design. TDMs comprise an actuator, an end-effector, and a transmission system by using cables or tendons to transfer forces from the actuator to the end-effector. Tendons are typically routed by frictionless guiding tubes to minimize force losses, variations in the force direction, and the volume. To make soft wearable robots even smaller, brakes need to be compacted because brakes are irreplaceable to ensure safety and energy efficiency. This study presents a shape memory alloy-based reactive tubular (SMART) brake for designing a compact and portable TDM-based device. The SMART brake actively adjusts the friction force between the brake and tendon, making it easy to achieve the desired friction state, ranging from low-friction states for free movement to high-friction states for effective braking. The brake is designed in a tubular shape, serving multifunctions as both a brake and a guiding tube. The brake's performance and theoretical model were validated through experiments and demonstrated by two wearable devices. The brake could hold a significant brake force of 19.37 N/11 mm while weighing only 0.3 g. These findings have major implications for the future development of TDM-based devices and soft wearable robots, paving the way for enhanced system portability, safety, and energy efficiency.-
