Lower limb exoskeletons have been successfully used in robotic-assisted rehabilitation. However, the design limitations of exoskeletons mechanics, such as weight and the lack of kinematic compatibility relative to the user's joints, limit the outcomes of treatment. To address these shortcomings, this work presents the design of a magneto-rheological fluid-based actuator for a knee exoskeleton, nam...
