VARIETIES OF EXOSKELETONS
Keywords:
exoskeleton, innovative devices, development, knowledge.Abstract
Exoskeletons are created to increase the muscular strength of a person and are intended mainly for two categories of users: for those who need rehabilitation for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, as well as for workers of physical labor. In this case, the exoskeleton can not cover the whole body, but only a certain part of it. For example, the hand, as in the case with the mechanism of x-Ar from Equipois company.
In the process of human life and its environment form a continuously functioning system of "man- habitat". Acting in the system of "man-habitat", a person continuously solves two main tasks: to ensure their needs for food, water, air and the creation and use of a system of protection against negative impacts from both the environment and from their own kind. The process of life is safe and comfortable human interaction with their environment, which may be industrial, urban, domestic or natural environment. Specialists in biomedical engineering can participate in the creation of devices and equipment, in the development of new procedures based on interdisciplinary knowledge, in research aimed at obtaining new information to solve new problems.
