A New Exoskeleton Robot for Human Motion Assistance

Abstract

This paper presents studies on the kinematics and dynamics of a new robotic system of the exoskeleton type to assist human locomotion. Based on previous achievements, we designed an original robotic system solution. Based on this structural solution, we created a virtual model using SolidWorks computerized design software. This virtual model is used for two purposes, namely in the first stage we will perform a motion simulation using the software of dynamic analysis of mobile mechanical systems ADAMS_View and then based on the virtual construction prototype we will manufacture the robotic system by classical techniques and additive manufacturing. The results presented in the paper prove the technical feasibility of the proposed solution for assisting the locomotion of people with disabilities.
