Wearable Robots

A wearable device is any device that is worn comfortably on the body and enables user interaction. It is typically integrated into the clothing or attached to the body of a person to enhance human performance. A wearable robot is a type of robot that is used to enhance a persons motion and or physical abilities. Wearable robots are constructed of typical robotic components such as actuators, sensors, and control algorithms. They aim at providing assistance to impaired limbs, augment human ability, help with the rehabilitation, or enable increased personal mobility. This paper provides an introduction to wearable robotics, including active orthotics exoskeleton and active prosthetics. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Uwakwe C. Chukwu | Abayomi Ajayi-Majebi | Sarhan M.
