一种“肌肉套装”将为瘫痪或无法独立行动的人提供肌肉支持，目前正在开发一种可穿戴的机器人。肌肉套装由机械盔甲类型的框架和McKibben人造肌肉组成。采用了一种新型的肩关节连杆机构，该机构由两个半圆形连杆组成，每个连杆两端共安装四个万向节，实现了上肢的全部运动。从实用的角度来看，将肌肉套装应用于不健康的人，如老年人和/或残疾人，需要非常高的安全性和可用性。然后我们首先为了实际使用，将肌肉套装应用到体力劳动者身上。在本文中，我们介绍了如何适用于体力劳动者肌肉套装。
A "muscle suit" that will provide muscular support for the paralyzed or those otherwise unable to move unaided is being developed as a wearable robot. The muscle suit consists of a mechanical armor-type frame and McKibben artificial muscle. Using a new link mechanism for the shoulder joint which consists of two half-circle links with four universal joints in total mounted at both ends of each link, all motion for the upper limb has been realized. Applying the muscle suit to non-healthy people such as elderly people and/or disable one requires very high-level safety and usability, from the practical point of view. We then in the first place for the practical use, apply the muscle suit to the manual worker. In this paper, we introduce how we can apply the muscle suit for the manual worker.
