Lower limb exoskeletons serve multiple purposes, like supporting and augmenting
movement. Biomechanical models are practical tools to understand human movement, and …

Exoskeletons, orthoses, exosuits, assisting robots and such devices referred to as wearable
assistive devices are devices designed to augment or protect the human body by applying …

Exoskeletons that assist the hip, knee, and ankle joints have begun to improve human
mobility, particularly by reducing the metabolic cost of walking. However, direct comparisons …

For exoskeletons to be successful in real-world settings, they will need to be effective across
a variety of terrains, including on inclines. While some single-joint exoskeletons have …

Assistive exoskeletons can reduce the metabolic cost of walking, and recent advances in
exoskeleton device design and control have resulted in large metabolic savings. Most …

Soft exosuits have been demonstrated to possess the potential to reduce metabolism and
muscle fatigue in human locomotion. How to maximize the user's metabolic benefit and …

Biomechanical energy harvesters are designed to generate electrical energy from human
locomotion (eg, walking) with minimal or no additional effort by the users. These harvesters …

Predicting an individual's response to an exoskeleton and understanding what data are
needed to characterize responses remains challenging. Specifically, we lack a theoretical …

Research and the commercial use of exoskeletons that augment human activities are rapidly
growing. However, the progress of the two is hindered by the time-consuming and costly …

Robotic exoskeletons have the potential to restore and enhance human mobility. However,
optimally controlling these devices, to work in concert with human users, is challenging …
