Considerations of Mounting Method for Wearable Robot Arm

Abstract

When using a wearable robotic arm, the burden on the user needs to be considered. The weight of the robotic arm has the most impact, but the mounting method is also essential. The method of attachment using a belt and backpack was simulated using a stress analysis tool. For each mounting method, we compared the locations where stress occurs and the range of stress and examined mounting methods that reduce the burden on the user.
