Abstract
The main goal of this thesis is to study and design an industrial exoskeleton that factory workers could wear, since they are constantly exposed to lower back and hip pain. This exoskeleton is aiming to reduce fatigue while performing trunk bending, and to assist defined tasks. There is also the possibility that these exoskeleton could facilitate earlier return-to-work, after an injury. Nowadays, wearable robots such as exoskeletons, that are designed to be used in an industrial field are the fastest growing research topic. Our plan is to define all the aspects that are dealing with mechanical and electrical details, for an high level design.
In parallel, we try to figure out which can be the most effective elements, that could be used to both fit the high flexibility of the human body, and the highest efficiency requirement, for a compact and lightweight device.
