    Abstract: An exoskeleton system comprising a fluidic actuator and a power transmission that includes: a transmission body that defines a transmission chamber configured to hold a fluid, the transmission body having a first and second end, and a piston that translates within the transmission chamber between the first and second ends of the transmission body, with translation of the piston within the transmission chamber changing a volume of the transmission chamber. The exoskeleton system also includes a mechanical power source coupled to the power transmission configured to cause the piston to translate within respective transmission body to change the volume of the transmission cavity; and a first fluid line that couples the power transmission to the fluidic actuator.

    Abstract: A method of configuring one or more exoskeleton systems in an exoskeleton network, the method comprising: receiving exoskeleton data from one or more exoskeleton systems that are operably connected to a network; storing the exoskeleton data from the one or more exoskeleton systems; generating a configuration input for configuring at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems; and sending the generated configuration input to the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems via the network to cause the at least one of the one or more exoskeleton systems to be configured based at least in part on the generated configuration input.

    Abstract: A method of operating a modular exoskeleton system, the method comprising: monitoring for one or more actuator units being operably coupled to or removed from the modular exoskeleton system, the modular exoskeleton system comprising at least a first actuator unit configured to be operably coupled and removed from the modular exoskeleton system; determining that the first actuator unit has been operably coupled to the modular exoskeleton system; determining the first actuator unit has been associated with a first body portion of the user; determining a first new operating configuration based at least in part on the determination that the first actuator unit has been operably coupled to the modular exoskeleton system and the determination that the first actuator unit has been associated with the first body portion of the user; and setting the first new operating configuration for the modular exoskeleton system.

    Abstract: A method of constructing an inflatable fluidic actuator that includes generating a tube configuration with one or more shapes of fluid-impermeable membrane material, the tube configuration having a first tube end and a second tube end and an internal tube face and an external tube face. The method also includes coupling a first and second interface to the tube configuration at the first and second tube ends by respectively coupling each interface to the tube configuration at a respective tube end by generating at least one of: a first circumferential bond between the fluid-impermeable membrane material and one or more sidewalls of the interface; and an external face bond between fluid-impermeable membrane material at the tube end onto an external face of the interface.

    Abstract: A method of performing a fit test on an actuator unit coupled to a user. The method includes determining a first configuration of the actuator unit while the actuator unit is in an un-actuating state and while the user is in a fit test position; actuating the actuator unit; determining a second configuration of the actuator unit generated in response to the actuating the leg actuator unit; determining a change in configuration of the actuator unit based at least in part on the difference between the first and second configuration; and determining that the change in configuration corresponds to an improper fit of the actuator unit to the user.
