Abstract

In a spring-woven fabric, a manufacturing method for the spring-woven fabric, a flexible actuator using the spring-woven fabric, a wearable robot comprising the flexible actuator, and a massage device comprising the flexible actuator, the spring-woven fabric is configured to be contracted or relaxed by external power supply. The fabric includes a thermal response drive element and a wire. The thermal response drive element has a spring shape, and is configured to function as one of a warp and a weft. The wire is configured to function as the remaining of the warp and the weft.
