The dynamic load attached to the load gravity imposes an excessive burden to human shoulders during load carriage, resulting in possible muscle injuries and additional physical exertion. This paper proposes an active suspension backpack, capable of transferring partial load from human shoulders to pelvis and alleviating the dynamic load through separated panels and motor actuation, to reduce press...
