A tool-holding arm includes a plurality of links and a tool coupling that removably secures a tool to the tool-holding arm. A first fluid spring provides a gravity-counteracting force to the tool-holding arm. A locking mechanism selectively locks the first fluid spring. An adjustment mechanism selectively adjusts an amount of the gravity-counteracting force provided by the first fluid spring.

Control mechanisms and methods of tool-holding arm for exoskeletons

A first exoskeleton is in communication with a central server or a peripheral device. The first exoskeleton collects first data and transmits the first data to the central server or peripheral device. The central server or peripheral device generates second data using the first data and transmits the second data to the first exoskeleton or a second exoskeleton.

Methods of exoskeleton communication and control

An exoskeleton includes strapping for coupling the exoskeleton to a wearer. The exoskeleton also includes a hip structure, a thigh link rotatably connected to the hip structure and a shank link rotatably connected to the thigh link. The weight of the exoskeleton is transferred to a surface on which the exoskeleton is standing through the hip structure, the thigh link and the shank link. An arm brace supports an arm of the wearer, and a telescopic link is rotatably connected to the arm brace. An energy storage device delivers power to a tool through a conduit, and a conduit-energy storage device coupling connects the conduit to the energy storage device.

Human exoskeleton devices for heavy tool support and use

A mobility system includes an energy module, an exoskeleton and a mobile base. The exoskeleton has an exoskeleton energy module receptacle that can receive the energy module, and the mobile base has a mobile base energy module receptacle that can also receive the energy module. In addition, the mobile base has an exoskeleton support that can support the exoskeleton on the mobile base so that the mobile base can transport the exoskeleton across a support surface.
