The present invention relates to the technical field of wearable exoskeletons, and more specifically to an
exoskeleton power-assist
robot and a load-driving method, comprising: a support structure, comprising a
back support, a hip support, a leg support, and a
shoulder support, wherein the
back support and the
shoulder support are an integrated structure, the
back support is wearably connected to the user's back, and the shoulder supports extend from above the back support to both sides of the user's shoulders and neck. The power-assist
robot proposed in this application comprises a main skeleton part and a transmission part, wherein the weight of the main skeleton part is mainly concentrated on the back, and the
weight distribution is reasonable, the transmission part uses a
Bowden cable as a
transmission medium, and the transmission harness relies on the flexible arrangement of the skeleton, and mainly uses two motors loaded on the back to provide power to the upper limbs and
waist respectively, especially to provide power to lift loads and the important force-generating process of bending and straightening the
waist, which can significantly reduce labor intensity.
