Development of a simple exoskeleton (hardware)

The Powered Exoskeleton is an electromechanical structure worn by an operator, matching the shape and functions of the human body. Exoskeletons supplements the function of the human limb by augmenting its strength, agility and endurance or at least by supplying the activation energy required to init...
