Remote actuation for wearable robots
Poor wearability in active exoskeletons and prosthetic devices is still a key issue. There are many aspects that can improve the wearability. One key problem is the weight of the actuated device. High weight leads to high reflected inertia, higher metabolic cost, bulky devices, etc.
