A robotic and virtual testing platform highlighting promise of soft wearable actuators for wrist tremor suppression

Supplementary material to paper, containing:

Matlab_Scripts:

- Force_Data_Analysis.m

- Using this script, we analyzed the forces generated by both the pneumatic and HASEL actuators    during generation and suppression of tremor.

- Mechanical_Patient_Data_Analysis.m

- Using this script, we analyzed the tremor amplitudes generated by the mechanical patient for both    its characterization (generation of tremor different tremor grades and their suppression using the mechanical patient)    and replication of patient tremor using the mechanical patient.

- TremorSignalAnalysis_croppedPatientdata.m

- Using this script, we plotted the raw filtered, rectified, Fast Fourier Transforms, and Spectrograms of    the original patient data, and the replicated and suppressed patient data with the mechanical patient.

Exp_Data:

In this folder are all the data acquired from the mechanical patient during each experiment. Each .mat file is a 1x1  Dataset containing 20-25 indices. Each index correlates to either a signal or parameter obtained from the Simulink  environment during data collection.

 - In 'Pneumatic_Actuators_and_HASEL_Actuators_Data' is the data for the characterization of the mechanical patient with   both the Pneumatic and HASEL actuators active.

 - In 'Pneumatic_Actuators_Only_Data' is the data for the characterization of the mechanical patient with   only the Pneumatic actuators active.

 - In 'Replication_and_Suppression_Data' is the replicated and suppressed patient data using the mechanical   patient.
