Soft exosuit-a review

Abstract

Exosuit is nothing but a device or robot which works in different areas, such as - military, medical or lifting some load. Generally, it is not fully covered like a shield because it is made by using cables motors and some useful mechanism. Exosuit is broadly developed for both rehabilitation and to augment user’s physical performance. In this paper, we will discuss the design considerations, different types of actuator, or actuation processes, sensors and some particular mechanisms and also define some limitations of the same. We used a new approach with respect to the current scenario in this paper. Here, we are only studying about the relatable importance point which is directly connected to exosuit. There are many reasons for low employment of exosuit in the industry with new technology in the automotive and logistics. At this time there are very few exoskeletons available to purchase as a final and certified product on the free market. Generally, exosuit is a worn mechanical device that works parallel with the user; it has the potential to enhance the requirements of a human. The exosuit utilizes electric or hydraulic actuator support or augments human muscle strength which helps in transporting a heavyweight object.
