Design features of industrial exoskeletons

Abstract

Classifications of exoskeletons by design, main areas of application and degree of automation are given. Based on the analysis of the exoskeletons presented on the market, the requirements for an industrial exoskeleton designed for when carrying loads and working with heavy tools are formulated. Solutions are proposed to improve the design of the load-bearing elements of the frame and active elements. Approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of the exoskeleton based on electromyography and indirect methods for measuring the level of metabolism are considered.
