Design of a Payload Adjustment Device for an Unpowered Lower-Limb Exoskeleton
Sensors, 2021 This paper proposes a device that can change the payload of an unpowered lower-limb exoskeleton supporting the weights of humans and loads. Our previous exoskeletons used a cam–follower structure with a spring applied to the hip joint.
