Muscle coordination and recruitment during squat assistance using a robotic ankle–foot exoskeleton
Scientific Reports, 2023 Squatting is an intensive activity routinely performed in the workplace to lift and lower loads. The effort to perform a squat can decrease using an exoskeleton that considers individual worker’s differences and assists them with a customized solution ...

An Exoskeleton Robot for Human Forearm and Wrist Motion Assist
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2008 The exoskeleton robot is worn by the human operator as an orthotic device. Its joints and links correspond to those of the human body. The same system operated in different modes can be used for different fundamental applications; a human-amplifier ...

Development of the Stiffenable Exoskeleton Device for a Colonoscopy [PDF]
Journal of Medical Devices, 2009 Colonoscopy provides a minimally invasive tool for examining and treating the colon without surgery, but current colonoscope designs still cause a degree of pain and mechanical trauma to the colon wall. The most common colonoscopes are long tubes inserted through the rectum with fiber optic lights, cameras, and biopsy tools on the distal end.
