Analyzing Mechanical Structure of Lower Extremity Exoskeleton

Abstract

The appearance of the lower extremity exoskeleton can be traced back to 1890, a machine designed by the Russians to help bounce and run. After more than 100 years of development, the functions of exoskeleton robots have gradually diversified. Currently, exoskeletons are mainly used in the medical and military industries. This article will analyze the mechanical structure of several lower-extremity exoskeleton robots in recent decades. Then it summarizes the basic requirements when designing the exoskeleton mechanical structure, and the future development direction.
