Exoskeletons for all: The interplay between exoskeletons, inclusion, gender, and intersectionality [PDF]
Paladyn, Journal of Behavioral Robotics, 2020 AbstractIn this article, we investigate the relation between gender and exoskeleton development through the lens of intersectionality theory. Exoskeleton users come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and genders. However, it is often the case that wearable robot engineers do not develop such devices primarily on the premise that the product should fit

Electrically Driven Lower Limb Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Based on Anthropomorphic Design
Machines, 2022 To help people with impairment of lower extremity movement regain the ability to stand and walk, and to enhance limb function, this study proposes an anthropomorphic design of an electrically driven, lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot.
