Design and Evaluation of an Underactuated Lower Body Exoskeleton
An underactuated exoskeleton design for walking assistance is presented and evaluated. The exoskeleton uses one motor per leg and makes use of a pantograph to reduce the overall profile and allow the exoskeleton to closely follow the shape of the user's leg. Support is provided between the ball of …

Design of an Underactuated Lower Body Exoskeleton Using a Pantograph
This paper presents the design of an underactuated lower body exoskeleton to assist with walking. It reduces the amount of bodyweight going through the user's leg by providing a supporting force to the user that is engaged and disengaged depending on the stage of the gait cycle the user is in. It …
