Research and Development on Mobile Powered Upper-Body Exoskeletons for Industrial Usage

This work is completed as a part of an exoskeleton project that was started to solve a specific problem. The scope covers the research and development of a lightweight mobile active upper-body exoskeleton for industrial workers who are lifting heavy loads on daily basis. It shall be a powered electromechanical device to decrease the musculoskeletal fatigue on the user with human augmentation properties. There will be certain constraints such as body part, mobility, and activity. The proposed design is the most optimized version that can be produced with the current state of the related studies.
