Exosuit Robot, Exosuit

Exosuit Robot: The soft exosuit creates forces on the body during walking through a Bowden cable-actuated multi-articular textile that interfaces to the wearer at the pelvis, leg and foot. The suit mimics the underlying function of the muscles at the hip and ankle and generates forces through a combination of passive and active tensioning. The actuator units are mounted on the wearer’s torso (e.g. on a backpack) and each actuates one cable to transmit the force down the corresponding leg.
