A SOFT EXOSKELETON SUIT TO REDUCE MUSCLE
FATIGUE WITH PNEUMATIC ARTIFICIAL MUSCLES
Researcher Kosuke Tsuneyasu

Year 2013
Introduction

 In this research paper about the a soft exoskeletion suit to reduce muscle fatigue with pneumatic artifical
muscles.
 In this we are making an assistive suit with light weight and flexible pneumatic rubber artificial muscles to
reduce muscle load. It also reduce the pain during bending and stretching motions.
Problems

 Now-a-days there are people having back pain and because of aging the people is finding difficulty in
bending doing work or even sometimes in walking also and some people can not work due to age
problem.
 Some workers can not work because of low back pain so this is problem for workers.
 Solutions
 In solution we have to make a exoskeleton suit helps the people in reducing the muscle fatigue.
 The suit can be made with the help of pneumatic artificial muscles which actual made of rubber that has the
simple basic structure contracts the full length by supplying the air compressed air.
 It can support the relatively large force of the active type assistive suit.

Tools And Technology

 From 1960 to 1971, General Electric developed and tested a prototype called the "Hariman“ which is a set of
overlapping exoskeletons controlled by an operator.
 The outer suit followed the motions of the inner suit which in turn followed the motion of the operator.
In this suit the two circuit used electronic and Pneumatic circuit and also telescopic sensor, air compressor,
pressure trantsducer, artificial muscle, arduino are used.
Limitation

 It is necessary to mount power sources such as a battery compressed gas tank and compressor to drive the
actuator active actuators require an exoskeletal structure for mounting on a human body.
 This makes them bulky expensive and suitable for only a limited number of motions.

Advantages

 They are easier to use simpler lighter and less expensive than active assistive devices and easier to
maintain as they do not require power sources and controllers.
Conclusion

 In this we make a soft exoskeleton suit actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles to reduce muscle
fatigue.
 We conducted the experiments to evaluate the performance of the proposed assistive force designs.
 It can improve working performance in the construction site.
