An Innovative design of cost-effective lower limb exoskeletons

The scope of the research work intends to deal with such assistive exoskeletons with an aim to give financial access to elderly people by virtue of reduced production costs. Further, the goal is to avoid the use of costly and sophisticated components like harmonic devices, microcontrollers and others and incorporating ergonomic mechanical innovations to improve the quality of these devices to be delivered into the market.
