摘要:Improving the strength, speed, and endurance through wearable assistive devices has been the dream ofhumans for several decades. Several technologies have been developed towards that dream.An important goal of thefield of robot-assisted movement training is to develop a light and powerful robotic-arm exoskeleton. Manyexoskeleton designs exist but none have matched or exceeded the capabilities of the human arm in terms of inertia,strength, force-control ability, and range of motion.Robotic exoskeleton is getting important to human in many aspectssuch as power assist, muscle training, regain motor function and rehabilitation. The research and development towardsthese functions are expected to be combined and integrated with the human intelligent and machine power, eventuallybecoming another generation of robot which will enhance the machine intelligent and human power. The goal of thisproject is to design and fabricate a mechanical exoskeleton for work augmentation. The exoskeleton must be madeportable and as light as possible in order to provide comfort for the person. The type of exoskeleton chosen is an upperextremity exoskeleton.
