    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Biomechanics
    • Assistive Technology

    Background:

    • Ensuring safety is paramount in upper limb exoskeleton design for individuals with physical weakness.
    • Existing exoskeletons often prioritize functionality over wearability and safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel, passively safe, cable-driven upper limb exoskeleton.
    • To develop a prototype that perfectly mimics human upper limb motion.

    Main Methods:

    • Designed a passively safe exoskeleton prototype based on human anatomy.
    • Incorporated a gravity-balanced device into the exoskeleton structure.
    • Utilized a cable-driven parallel mechanism for actuated joints.

    Main Results:

    • The gravity-balanced mechanism was theoretically validated.
    • Simulations confirmed the positive effect of the gravity-balanced mechanism on stability.
    • The exoskeleton design prioritizes wearability and anatomical compatibility.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed upper limb exoskeleton offers enhanced safety through its passive design.
    • The gravity-balanced mechanism is a key innovation for improving exoskeleton performance and user well-being.
