This video presents the project of an upper limb active exoskeleton that uses the surface electromyographic signals to do torque control and to amplify the user's physical capacities.
It uses Pneumatic Artificial Muscles as actuators for its excellent power to weight ratio and the system model is optimized using genetic algorithms from the MatLab Global Optimization Toolbox.
Experiments showed that the equipment is not only able to increase the users mechanical force but it's also capable of improving the fatigue endurance.
