Status and prospects of the lower extremity exoskeleton robots for human power augmentation

The lower extremity exoskeleton used for human power augmentation is an intelligent robotic device that imitates the movement of the wearer to improvehis capacity of load-carrying, walking speed and duration. Therefore it is an important tool in rescuing, field manipulating and military applications. In this paper, the state-of-the-art prototype development at home and abroad is analyzed, which reveals that the domestic research is still in the theoretical analysis and laboratory test stage. A review on the key techniques of the lower extremity exoskeletons is presented. Some developing trends are stated at the end of this paper.
