Abstract:
Werkzeughaltearm (405, 505), der eine Vielzahl von Gliedern (409, 410, 509, 510) und eine Werkzeugkopplung (406, 506), die derart konfiguriert ist, dass ein Werkzeug (403, 430, 503) lösbar an dem Werkzeughaltearm (405, 505) befestigt werden kann, aufweist. Eine erste Fluidfeder (445, 533, 536) stellt eine der Schwerkraft entgegenwirkende Kraft dem Werkzeughaltearm (405, 505) bereit. Ein Verriegelungsmechanismus (422, 450, 552) verriegelt selektiv die erste Fluidfeder (445, 533, 536). Ein Anpassungsmechanismus (520, 550) passt selektiv eine Menge der der Schwerkraft entgegenwirkenden Kraft, die von der ersten Fluidfeder (445, 533, 536) bereitgestellt wird, an.
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:
Ein Exoskelett weist Anschnallmittel zum Koppeln des Exoskeletts an einen Träger auf. Das Exoskelett weist auch eine Hüftstruktur, eine Schenkelverbindung, die drehbar mit der Hüftstruktur verbunden ist, und eine Schaftverbindung, die drehbar mit der Schenkelverbindung verbunden ist, auf. Das Gewicht des Exoskeletts wird zu einer Oberfläche übertragen, auf der das Exoskelett durch die Hüftstruktur, die Schenkelverbindung und die Schaftverbindung steht. Eine Armverstärkung stützt einen Arm des Trägers und eine teleskopische Verbindung ist drehbar mit der Armverstärkung verbunden. Eine Energiespeichervorrichtung gibt Leistung an ein Werkzeug durch eine Leitungsführung ab und eine Leitungsführungs-Energiespeicherkopplung verbindet die Leitungsführung mit der Energiespeichervorrichtung.
