Design of a Human Lower Extremity Exoskeleton Prototype

Abstract:

A human lower extremity exoskeleton prototype was designed and manufactured, the focus of which is on the hardware design. The object of this exoskeleton design is to help its pilot holding burden. The prototype contains three major modules, the mechanical skeleton, the hydraulic drive system and the control system. The approach and realization progress of each module was explained. Simulation about the hydraulic system was conducted and the result was satisfactory. Multiple actual experiments were applied to the prototype to prove the success of the design.
