Overview of Lower Extremity Exoskeleton Technology

The exoskeleton is wearable robot that can enhance the power of the wearer in various environments. The research goal of power-assist exoskeleton is to make it become more powerful, faster and more comfortable wearing experience. So far, some of the key technical problems are still not achieved practical breakthrough.
