This is the final report of Phase I of a three-phase project to develop a powered exoskeleton. This is a powered, jointed, loadbearing structure designed to be worn by man and augment his strength and endurance. While wearing the device, an operator will be able to life up to 1500 pounds as high as 6 feet. He will also be able to carry such a load at least 25 feet in 10 seconds at any height up to 6 feet. Typical applications for the powered exoskeleton will include loading and unloading cargo from vehicle to ground and vice versa, stacking and moving cargo from place to place, and similar associated tasks. The exoskeleton will be designed so that the wearer can walk, bend, turn, etc., with minimum restraint.
