BIONIC EXOSKELETON Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B25J11/00 

FIELD: robotics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to robotics, namely, to devices that provide an increase in the carrying capacity, as well as the speed and strength of the operator's movements, and can be used for military, medical and civil purposes. Exoskeleton contains a framework, the intermetallic filaments with a shape memory with a direct original shape and an L-type initial shape located in the framework, and an electric current generator connected to these filaments. As an electric current generator, it contains converters of mechanical motion into electric current, made in the form of a stationary electrode located on the outer surface of the exoskeleton framework, and the movable electrode, the working surfaces of the electrodes face each other and are made of materials having different electronic conductivity, the intermetallic filaments with shape memory are arranged in a flexible thermoelectric-insulating shell.

EFFECT: invention provides an increase in the accuracy of repetition of movements, the ability to adjust to the anatomy and motor features of a particular operator, the exclusion of the power source and microcomputer from the exoskeleton structure.
