Abstract

The paper deals with a new design for a low-cost lower limb exoskeleton, which allows a simple construction by using lightweight materials, an easier wearing and an adaptability to various human legs dimensions. The designed exoskeleton allows 3 DoFs for hip, knee and ankle joints. The actuation of the exoskeleton joints is achieved by one rotational servomotor and 2 electric linear motors. The CAD model was simulated by considering the exoskeleton with or without the human leg weight applied on a scaled CAD model. A prototype of the developed exoskeleton was manufactured and tested at LARM lab at the Cassino University.
