System description
The passive exoskeleton is a human interface to capture movements of the human right arm, including the upper shoulder in order to teleoperate higly complex robotic systems in an intuitive way.
The exoskeleton is a parallel kinematics with 10 degrees of freedom of the human kinematics and tracks the human movements as naturally and detailed as possible. The arm and shoulder movements are captured from the human contact points forearm, upper arm and shoulder in relation to the base-fixing torso.
The passive exoskeleton is a preliminary study for an active exoskeleton with force interaction. With this exoskeleton the kinematics used later on and comfort situation were evaluated.
