Abstract
An exoskeleton system for supporting a person during an installation process includes a first exoskeleton unit for stabilizing a first body part of the person and a second exoskeleton unit for stabilizing a second body part of the person. Furthermore, the exoskeleton system includes a detection unit which is configured to detect a condition of the first body part and a control unit which is configured to control the second exoskeleton unit based on the detected condition of the first body part such that a specified condition of the second body part is adjusted by the second exoskeleton unit.
Claims13
An exoskeleton system for supporting a person during an installation process, comprising:
- a first exoskeleton unit for stabilizing a first body part of the person;
- a second exoskeleton unit for stabilizing a second body part of the person;
- a detection unit configured to detect a condition of the first body part;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the second exoskeleton unit based on the detected condition of the first body part such that a specified condition of the second body part is adjusted by the second exoskeleton unit.
A method for supporting a person during an installation process, the method comprising:
- providing an exoskeleton system with a first exoskeleton unit and a second exoskeleton unit;
- equipping the person to be supported with the exoskeleton system by attaching the first exoskeleton unit to a first body part of the person and the second exoskeleton unit to a second body part of the person;
- defining a threshold value for a maximum movement of the first body part relative to the second body part;
- and
- inhibiting, by the first exoskeleton unit, a movement of the first body part when the threshold value for the maximum movement of the first body part relative to the second body part is exceeded.
