UNDERSTANDING EXOSKELETONS

What Are Exoskeletons?

Exoskeletons are wearable devices designed to provide targeted physical support during demanding or repetitive tasks. Worn over the body, they can help support specific movements, reduce physical strain and make physically challenging work more manageable.

Different exoskeletons are designed for different applications. Some provide passive support through mechanical systems such as springs and elastic elements, while others use powered technology to assist movement and gripping.

From repetitive lifting and manual handling to overhead work, gripping tasks and prolonged standing, choosing the right exoskeleton starts with understanding the physical demands of the job and the support required.

Targeted Physical Support

Designed to support specific areas of the body during physically demanding tasks and repetitive movements.

Passive and Active Systems

Passive devices use mechanical elements, while active systems use powered assistance to support movement or gripping.

Application-Led Selection

The right solution depends on the task, working environment, movements involved and level of support needed.

Types of Exoskeletons

Passive vs Active Exoskeletons

Passive Exoskeletons

Use mechanical elements, such as springs and elastic materials, to store and release energy. They can provide targeted physical support without requiring an external power source.

Passive exoskeletons are designed to support specific movements and working postures, helping make physically demanding tasks more manageable. They operate mechanically, without motors or batteries.

How they work:

Mechanical support through springs and elastic elements

Lightweight and wearable

Designed for specific movements and tasks

Active Exoskeletons

Use powered systems, such as electric motors, pneumatics or hydraulics, to assist movement or gripping. Their design and control systems depend on the particular application.

Active exoskeletons use powered assistance to help users perform specific physical tasks. Depending on the system, sensors and control mechanisms can respond to movement or user input to deliver support when required.

How they work:

Powered assistance for movement or gripping

Controlled support based on the task

Requires a power source
