Design of a lower extremity exoskeleton for walking power augmentation

This work is to design a control method and develop a lower extremity exoskeleton for walking power augmentation, which can help the user to carry payload and walk with him/her. The system might provide soldiers, fire fighters, disaster relief workers, and other emergency personnel the ability to ca...

description This work is to design a control method and develop a lower extremity exoskeleton for walking power augmentation, which can help the user to carry payload and walk with him/her. The system might provide soldiers, fire fighters, disaster relief workers, and other emergency personnel the ability to carry major loads such as food, weaponry, rescue equipment, and communications gear with minimal effort.
