Abstract: Haptic actuators may include a first active material coupled to a first side of an inactive substrate and a second active material coupled to a second side of the inactive substrate. The inactive substrate may be formed to initially exhibit a nonplanar shape when the first active material and the second active material are not actuated. Various other methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for fixing a wearable structure and/or a user-feedback element to a user is provided. The apparatus includes a wearable structure configured to be worn by a user, and a grounding assembly, coupled to the wearable structure. The grounding assembly includes: (i) an inflatable bladder, coupled to a first portion of the wearable structure, and (ii) a cord, coupled to a second portion of the wearable structure and the inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder is configured to receive a fluid from a source. The cord is configured to tighten around a portion of the user's body according to and in proportion with the fluid pressure inside the inflatable bladder.

Abstract: A wearable device comprises, a first unit cell that includes a haptic-feedback generator and the haptic-feedback generator is located at a first position on the wearable device. The device includes a second unit cell that includes another haptic-feedback generator, the other haptic-feedback generator is located at a second position that is adjacent to the first position. The device includes a connection between the first unit cell and the second unit cell, the connection being adjustable to move the first unit cell away from the first position or the second unit cell away from the second position. The device also includes a processor that is configured to: cause a size adjustment to either the haptic-feedback generator or the other haptic-feedback generator to provide, a first haptic feedback, and cause a positional adjustment, via the connection, to move the haptic-feedback generator away from the first position to provide a second haptic feedback.
