    Abstract: An exoskeleton (305; 405) includes first and second compression members (105; 105'; 110; 110') configured to be coupled to a wearer (205) of the exoskeleton (305; 405). A tensegrity joint (100; 170; 171; 200; 300; 400) connects the first compression member (105; 105') to the second compression member (110; 110'), the joint (100; 170; 171; 200; 300; 400) including a tensile member (140; 235; 330; 445) having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to the first compression member (105; 105') on a first side of the joint (100; 170; 171; 200; 300; 400), and the second end is coupled to the first compression member (105; 105') on a second side of the joint (100; 170; 171; 200; 300; 400) opposite the first side.

    Abstract: An exoskeleton (105) comprises a torso brace (120), configured to be coupled to a torso of a user (100), and a leg support (155), configured to be coupled to a leg (165) of the user (100). A plurality of links couples the torso brace (120) to the leg support (155). The plurality of links includes a first link (125), coupled to the torso brace (120) at a first pivot point (130), and a second link (145), coupled to the leg support (155) at a second pivot point (160). The first link (125) is coupled to the second link (145) through a third pivot point (150) located between the first (130) and second pivot points (160). The first pivot point (130) enables adduction of the leg support (155), and the third pivot point (150) enables abduction of the leg support (155).

    Abstract: An exoskeleton (105; 205; 305; 405; 505) configured to be coupled to a user (100; 200; 300; 400; 500) includes a plurality of interconnected support elements (141, 150; 340, 341, 342, 350; 420, 450, 420', 450'; 515, 520, 535) constituted by rigid compression members interconnected through a tensegrity joint (155; 255; 355; 430, 430'; 570). The joint includes a tensile member (165; 360, 361, 362; 440, 440'; 530, 531; 545, 546) having a first end and a second end coupled to first and second ones of the support elements (141, 150; 340, 341, 342, 350; 420, 450, 420', 450'; 515, 520, 535) respectively.
