It is inevitable for human to bear the gravitational and inertial force when carrying loads. The impact force exerted on human body is originated from the inertial force which can increase the energy expenditure and cause injury to human body. This paper proposes a semi-active hover backpack with controllable air damper to minimize the inertial force. The skyhook damper model of hover backpack is ...
