Modeling and Analysis of a Novel Pneumatic Artificial Muscle and Pneumatic Arm Exoskeleton
… Pneumatic actuators are a good fit for exoskeleton robots because of their light weight, small size, and flexible materials. This is because a wearable robot should be human friendly, therefore, it should be light weight, slim, powerful, and simple. In this paper, a novel pneumatic …

Investigations into the Form and Design of an Elbow Exoskeleton Using Additive Manufacturing
The commercial exoskeletons are often heavy and bulky, thus reducing the weight and simplifying the form factor becomes a critical task. This thesis details the process of designing and making a low-profile, cable-driven arm exoskeleton. Many advanced methods are explored: 3D scanning, generative …

Design of a Gravity Compensation Actuator for Arm Assistance
… require high strength movements of the shoulder, arm, and hand and may result in musculoskeletal disorders. With the objective to offset the weight of the arm and thereby lower the forces on the muscles in the shoulder and arm, this actuator is able to provide gravity compensation for the upper …

Design and development of a 7 degree-of-freedom powered exoskeleton for the upper limb
An exoskeleton is an external structural mechanism with joints and links corresponding to those of the human body. With applications in rehabilitation medicine and virtual reality simulation, exoskeletons offer benefits for both disabled and healthy populations. A pilot database defining the …

Simulation and Design of Two Tool Support Arm Exoskeletons with Gravity Compensation
We present and analyze two arm exoskeletons based on a pantograph linkage that allow for the support of 89~N (20~pounds) at the user's hand. Using a pantograph linkage allows for a constant force to be created at the hand in any orientation when a constant vertical force is supplied to the other …
