Abstract: A human interface device is configured to be coupled to a trunk of a person and comprises a frame, a fabric coupled to said frame configurable to be under tensile forces, and a belt configured to be coupled to two side edges of said frame wherein when said belt is worn by said person, an area of said fabric will be pushed against the person's lower back conforming to the shape of the lower back of said person. In operation when said human interface device is worn by said person, the weight of any load coupled to or supported by said frame will be partially supported by the friction force between the area of said fabric which is pushed against the person's lower back, and the person's lower back allowing said person to carry said load.

Abstract: An exoskeleton leg is wearable by a person. The exoskeleton includes a thigh link configured to move in unison with the thigh of the person, a shank link rotatably coupled to the thigh link and comprising at least one tooth, and a locking block coupled to the thigh link and comprising a locking face. Moreover, when the at least one tooth of the shank link contacts with the locking face, the shank link is prevented from flexion motion relative to the thigh link, but is allowed to extend relative to the thigh link.

Abstract: A remote center joint 1 is configured to rotate segment 7 relative to segment 2 along axis 15. Remote center joint 1 comprises a segment 3 coupled to base segment 2 along axis 16. Segment 4 is coupled to segment 3 about axis 17 intersecting axis 16 at first point 22. Segment 4 is coupled to segment 7 about axis 18 intersecting first point 22. Segment 5 is coupled to segment 2 about axis 19 parallel to axis 16. Segment 5 is geared to segment 3. Segment 6 is coupled to segment 5 about axis 20 intersecting axis 19 at second point 23. Segment 6 is coupled to segment 7 along axis 21 intersecting second point 23. Segment 6 is geared to segment 4. Axis 15 of rotation of terminal segment 7 relative to segment 2 connects first point 22 and second point 23.

Abstract: A leg support exoskeleton is strapped on as a wearable device to support its user during squatting and/or lunging. The exoskeleton includes a knee joint connected to a first link and a second link, which is configured to allow flexion and extension motion between the first link and the second link. A force generator has a first end that is rotatable connected to the first link. A constraining mechanism is connected to the second link and has at least two operational positions. In a first operational position, the second end of the force generator engages the constraining mechanism, where the first link and the second link flex relative to each other. In a second operational position, the second end of the force generator does not engage the constraining mechanism; the first link and the second link are free to flex and extend relative to each other.
