Exoskeletons
Overview
Exoskeletons for the human body
TÜV AUSTRIA supports you in the development & integration of exoskeletons Exoskeletons for the human body
Exoskeletons are frameworks that rest against the body, consisting of mechanical and/or mechatronic components. Through force redirection or active force support, the user can be assisted in physically strenuous or physically monotonous activities. This leads to a reduction of negative health strains, as well as a reduction of cycle time. TÜV AUSTRIA supports manufacturers in the legally compliant and standard-compliant development and operators in the safe integration of exoskeletons in their production environment.
ContactTypes of exoskeletons
The distinction between passive and active exoskeletons refers to the type of drive, with passive exoskeletons usually being light and flexible like a backpack. Active exoskeletons, on the other hand, are strapped on like a suit and are usually more complex in design due to the drives in the individual joints.
