Motivation To design a wearable assist device for human. To improve daily life for patients or elderly To avoid the musculoskeletal disorders for industrial workers Desired performances: To be able to compensate a part of the loads due the human’s weight. To have an assist device with an energetic autonomy. Good adaptation to the shape of human’s body.

Statement of the problem To consider a five-link planar Biped with a strapped exoskeleton. There are not any actuators in our exoskeleton. To define a ballistic walking gait of the biped alone without any assist device for the transport of a load. During ballistic walking of the biped with exoskeleton the knee of the stance leg of the exoskeleton (and as a consequence of the biped) is locked. Walking of the biped consists of alternating single- and instantaneous double-support phases. At the instant of this phase, the knee of the previous swing leg is locked and the knee of the previous stance leg is unlocked. To compare the energy consumption of the biped alone and with its exoskeleton. Yannick Aoustin, Alexander Formalskii Strategy to lock the knee of exoskeleton stance leg: study in the fram
