 Exoskeleton derived
from Greek ἔξω, éxō
"outer" and σκελετός,
skeletos "skeleton“.
 External skeleton that
supports and
protects an animal's
body.
 Armor – Tool used
for defense
 Knight in shining
armor – “An
idealized or
chivalrous man who
comes to the rescue
of a woman in a
difficult situation.”

 The term for the connection
between the nervous system
and the muscle.
 Electromyography (EMG) is
an electrodiagnostic
medicine technique for
evaluating and recording the
electrical activity produced
by skeletal muscles.

 XOS
 By SARCOS
 Developed for US Military
 Weighs about 95kg
 Wearer can lift about 200lb of weight for long
periods of time without feeling the strain
 Allows punching through three inches of wood
 Lift 50lb with each arm
 Originally developed by Berkeley Bionics in 2008
 Lockheed Martin acquired the design licence from
Berkeley in 2009
 Enables soldiers to carry loads up to 200lb (91kg)
 Weighs 53lb (24kg) without batteries. The design is
adjustable to suit users with a height of 5'4" to 6'2“
 Controlled by a micro-computer that sense the user's
requirement and adapt to the situation accordingly
 Fuel cell power supply system support for 72 hours
 Move at maximum speed of 11kmph long duration
and at 16kmph burst speed
 Used to walk
easier and
relaxing
 Conserves 7%
of energy
 Lightweight
 Energy-efficient
 Inexpensive
 Helps physically
challenged and elderly
people
 Posture and Balance
 Inexpensive
 Decreased Pain
 Reduced Fatigue
 Costs $150,000
(Rs.90,00,000)
 Developed by Trek
Aerospace
 Has a built in jet pack
 Capable of flying up
to 70 miles per hour
(112.6 kilometers per
hour)
 Hovers motionlessly
thousands of feet
above the ground
Hence exoskeletons is a milestone and it is
helping mankind to leap forward into the
future…
A WORLD OF AUTOMATION AND
ROBOTICS.
