A powered exoskeleton, also known as powered armor, exoframe, or exosuit, is a mobile machine consisting primarily of an outer framework (akin to an insect's exoskeleton) worn by a person, and powered by a system of motors, hydraulics, pneumatics or levers that delivers at least part of the energy for limb movement.

INTRODUCTION

Literature survey The first attempt to create a powered exoskeleton came in the

1960’s.

The aim of this project is to develop the mechanical design and produce the physical implementation of a robotic arm exoskeleton that has the capability of assisting of lifting the load.

outline the project requirements, broken down into kinematics, torque and force, control, and safety.

WHAT IS THE NEED OF AN EXOSKELETON?It is a suit which assists the wearer by

boosting their strength and endurance. So it is used by paralyzed patients for lifting.

It also gives the wearer superhuman powers. So it can also be used in military and rescue fields.

ObjectiveThe main objective is to reduce human effort while lifting the

weight.

Other than that, this mechanism in a robot, enables disabled people to select this mechanism.

Also, this mechanism can be used in automobile industries. Where, movement of large size body, which is manual in our project.

METHODOLOGY

Cylinder

Solenoid valve

It is an electromechanically operated valve. The valve is controlled by an electric current through a solenoid: in the case of a two-port valve the flow is switched on or off; in the case of a three-port valve, the outflow is switched between the two outlet ports.

Solenoid valve

The potential of using Carbon fibre is under research.

It may be made of any light weight metals like aluminium, nickel, titanium and hard plastics.

One of the proposed main uses for an exoskeleton would be enabling a soldier to carry heavy objects (80–300 kg) while running or climbing stairs

Another area of application could be medical care, nursing in particular.

wearable robot allows the wearer to lift 10 times as much as they normally could.

Applications

Lifting heavy obstacles, victims and elderly .

Accelerate wearer’s daily activities and improve recovery. Support self-physical training. Another area of application could be medical care, nursing in particular.

Advantages

RESCUE

It can be used by firemen to go into risky and hazardous environments for rescue operations.

It can be used to rescue people from the remains of destroyed buildings in an earthquake.

ENTERTAINMENT

These suits can be used to perform superhuman stunts without risking human lives.

It can also be used as a preventive measure in extreme sports like sky diving, Para gliding …

CONCLUSION

To advance exoskeleton technology at the fastest rate possible, it is critical that scientists and engineers document and share their successes and failures with the research community.

University and institute researchers can identify basic principles governing human movement with robotic technologies (exoskeletons, prostheses, etc.) with carefully designed experimental studies.
