Abstract

Most upper limb exoskeletons that have been presented in the literature are either intended for rehabilitation or for some type of industrial or Military work. However, there are a select few breakthroughs that offer both characteristics and aid with everyday life tasks. This study describes a wearable upper limb exoskeleton that can help people who have lost their ability to move and are undergoing rehabilitation. The exoskeleton arm has a maximum load lifting capacity of 50 kg and can lift that much weight with a 150-psi compressor pressure, which can help people with daily activities and provide mobility. In this study, a pneumatic exoskeleton arm with seven degrees of freedom (DOF) and flex sensors is used to control the extension and retraction of the arm using portable pneumatic pumps. This enables us to carry out the rehabilitation motion as exactly as possible and prevents us from adopting unfavourable postures while searching for the necessary answers. Promising findings were obtained through fabrication and testing that were done to validate our concept.
