Abstract:
Nowadays humans are facing many problems while lifting the heavy weight in upper body on exoskeleton for use in the fields of rehabilitation and therapeutic application, as well as occupations requiring augmented strength. Though systems exist, past exoskeleton endeavors have led to bulky, expensive, invasive, and tethered solutions. The challenge is to build an exoskeleton system that is inexpensive, streamlined, and wireless. In order to overcome the problem, it is challenge to develop a unique solution in the manner of low cost and ergonomic device. To achieve this, a kit is developed to lift the heavy weight application in various fields for user friendly interaction. With the help of arduino onboard sensing system, signal from the human body skeleton is acquired and the same is forwarded to the developed kit for actuating the cylinder. The retrieved data can be used by industrial workers to minimize the less time consumption of their work. Due to its low cost, hospitals can employ multiple devices and also the devices could even be used at home for physical appliances, which would dramatically increase quality of life for workers and patients. The developed device is highly augmented strength, so it is applicable to physically intensive occupations such as search and rescue operations. Hence, design and develop human power reduction kit device is required in the industry to achieve the human economic factors.
