CONT

Hybrid exoskeletons... are exoskeletons which use an electrically controlled actuator(e. g., electric motor, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc.) in combination with FES [functional electrical stimulation] to provide active assistance/resistance to the user. A hybrid exoskeleton can potentially result in a device which is overall lighter(and thus more portable) than a non-hybrid exoskeleton and which can produce greater forces and more precise control than FES on its own.

OBS

FES: functional electrical stimulation.

Key term(s)
