Abstract:
A first exoskeleton is in communication with a central server (210) or a peripheral device (705, 706). The first exoskeleton collects first data and transmits the first data to the central server (210) or peripheral device (705, 706). The central server (210) or peripheral device (705, 706) generates second data using the first data and transmits the second data to the first exoskeleton or a second exoskeleton.
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.
Abstract:
An exoskeleton trajectory sequence is received with at least one server, and the sequence is transferred to a first device where the sequence is validated. The validation includes a safety check in which a determination is made as to whether the sequence is safe for use with an exoskeleton. The validated sequence, or a confirmation that the sequence is valid, is received from the first device, and the validated sequence is offered for sale, license or lease. In one embodiment, a request for the sequence to be transferred is received from a first exoskeleton user. The sequence is validated and transferred to a second exoskeleton user. In another embodiment, a request for the sequence to be edited is received from an exoskeleton user. The sequence is edited, validated and transferred to the exoskeleton user.

An exoskeleton configured to be coupled to a user includes a plurality of interconnected support elements constituted by rigid compression members interconnected through a tensegrity joint. The joint includes a tensile member having a first end and a second end coupled to first and second ones of the support elements respectively.
