The Exoskeleton Robot Research Progress and Prospect

Abstract

The exoskeleton robot is essentially a wearable robot, it will be the person's intelligence and the external mechanical equipment of mechanical energy together, which can give a person the power and provide additional capabilities, enhance the human body function. This article summarizes the origin of the exoskeleton robot technology, the research progress, and combined with the current research direction in the future is prospected, exoskeleton robot plays an irreplaceable function in the society to use. Exoskeleton robot in such aspects is as wear resistance, intelligent and portability are the development of the breakthrough, but should strengthen the micro energy, lightweight portable materials, multi-functional system, such as research and development, can be widely used in military, scientific research, tourism, transportation, disaster relief and other fields. Exoskeleton is a combination of human intelligence and mechanical power device of the mechanical energy of a combination of human and robot, it can help people bearing by load, effectively strengthen the load ability, help people walk in a variety of complex terrain.
