An Upper-Limb Power-Assist Exoskeleton Using Proportional Myoelectric Control

An Upper-Limb Power-Assist Exoskeleton Using Proportional Myoelectric Control

We developed an upper-limb power-assist exoskeleton actuated by pneumatic muscles. The exoskeleton included two metal links: a nylon joint, four size-adjustable carbon fiber bracers, a potentiometer and two pneumatic muscles. The proportional myoelectric control method was proposed to control the ex...
