The intelligent exoskeleton comprises a driving control assembly, a driving cable assembly, a joint movement assembly, a fixing assembly and a sensor, movement signals of the patient are detected through surface myoelectricity sensors placed on the front arm and the upper arm, and the movement intention of the patient is recognized; shoulder joints, elbow joints, wrist joints and hands of a patient are driven to move through the driving control assembly, the driving cable assembly, the joint movement assembly and the fixing assembly, feedback adjustment is conducted through a force sensor, a flexible bending sensor, an attitude sensor and the like, and the functions of upper limb lifting, arm swinging, wrist joint rotating, hand stretching and retracting and the like are achieved. The exoskeleton movement mode can be adjusted, the upper limbs of the paralyzed patient can be assisted in rehabilitation movement, the upper limbs of the patient can also be assisted in active movement, the patient can independently complete daily basic movement, and remarkable social benefits and economic benefits are achieved.
