Abstract

A novel wire-driven shoulder exoskeleton is presented. The exoskeleton is designed with spherical scissors mechanism to achieve a compact and light weight design. Wire-driven approach is adopted to actuate the mechanism effectively without increasing its weight and size. Kinematic simulation verifies the feasibility of the wire-driven system. The structural stiffness is evaluated through FEA.
