Review of Exoskeleton: History, Design and Control

An Exoskeleton is wearable device that consists of mechanical structure, sensors, actuators and controller. This is widely used in various engineering applications such as to enhance endurance and strength of soldiers and assisting the patient with walking disorder. In view of this, paper brings out brief history of the Exoskeleton and their design. Further, study of different control aspects used in major augmented type Exoskeleton is also carried out. Finally, future challenges have also been discussed.
