| Abstract | Exoskeleton is one interesting topic that is developed and researched not long ago and there are many big projects that focus on this field such as RoboKnee, HAL and etc. The exoskeleton can help the disabled or elder people to smoothly perform everyday activities such as walking, climbing up and down stair as well as enhance the strength of normal people. The purpose of this thesis is to develop the exoskeleton arm which helps the human to carry a load and it can be applied to use in industrial application for transporting the products instead of vehicle or robot manipulator. This exoskeleton arm is consists of five degrees of freedom. Three degrees of freedom are for arm part and the other are for gripper part. DC motor is used to be the actuator, rotary potentiometer is the sensor for detecting the position at rotating joint and microcontroller is utilized for controlling the robot |
