EXOSKELETON SYSTEM FOR LOAD CARRYING

摘要

The present invention relates to an exoskeleton system (10) to be worn by a user (100). The system (10) includes a load carriage arrangement for carrying an applied load. The load carriage arrangement includes a frame 20, for example a frame 20 for a backpack, and at least one non-rigid member (30). The at least one-non rigid member (30) is arranged to transfer at least a first part of the applied load carried by the load carriage arrangement to the ground bypassing the user's musculoskeletal system. The system (10) may further include a load sharing arrangement configured to transfer a second part of the applied load to the user's musculoskeletal system.
