dc.description.abstractAn exoskeleton is the mechanical structures that humans can wear to increase their strength and endurance. The purpose of this study is to explain how exoskeletons can be used to improve the performance of the human body. However, exoskeletons can have the unintended negative consequences of reducing human flexibility leading to new sources of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) and accidents. The exoskeleton arm was designed and implemented which did a great job in lifting up objects for elderly and disabled patients. This arm can also be used for lifting and exercising purposes and for therapy sessions. Basically, our design was inspired by the human arm. Our main objective of this project is to develop an exoskeleton arm by using all available resources at a low manufacturing cost. Each part of the drawing has been designed first using Creo Parametric 2.0. The 2D drawings have been created on AutoCAD. The mechanical system of the arm compromised of locomotion, lifting and gripping mechanism. A wiper motor serves the purpose of the movements of the elbow and shoulder joints. The electrical system of the robot comprised of a servo motor, potentiometer and joystick. The Arduino has been programmed which provides specific motion to a motor.
