  • Abstract:
  • In biology, an exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an animal's body, in contrast to the internal skeleton of, for example, a human. Millions of people have mobility impairments that make walking slower and more fatiguing, while millions have occupations requiring strenuous locomotion. The paper describes a prototype of a portable lower-body exoskeleton that has been designed and fabricated, powered by a system of motors to assist humans in activities such as walking and running by providing energy and additional support for limb movements. It also offers enhanced stability to senior citizens and certain rehabilitation patients by reducing the strain on the knee and ankle joints and helping prevent falls and accidents. A distinguishing feature of this exoskeleton is its cost-effectiveness and adaptive design, enabling it to cater to an individual’s unique movements through personalized programming that optimizes the actuator’s performance for an efficient and tailored experience.
