Design analysis of a passive weight-support lower-extremity-exoskeleton with compliant knee-joint

This paper presents the design concept of a weight-support lower-extremity-exoskeleton (LEE) with a compliant joint to relieve compressive load in the knee. Along with a leg dynamic model and a knee bio-joint model, a compliant exoskeleton knee-joint has been designed using topology optimization and…
