Abstract

We present a new model of the metabolic cost of repetitive lifting, and how that is affected by wearing a passive back support exoskeleton. We compute the effective biomechanical efficiencies of moving the body and a carried load during lifting, and determine the effect of an exoskeleton’s efficiency on its metabolic reduction. This model is useful for understanding the effects of exoskeletons on the body and for designing future exoskeletons.
