Thus it brings fatigue to people after a long period of wearing. The research aims at optimizing shoulder fatigue and improving wearing comfort by means of changing the device-body contact material. After analyzing the current wearable exoskeletons ' weight, a standard load was set and a wearable exoskeleton was designed that could switch the weight. The experiment chose movement stability and change of cumulative pressure upon shoulder as the indexes of fatigue. The indexes were measured and analyzed before and after changing the contact material to memory foam with the standard load. The results showed promotion in action stability and obvious decrease in cumulative pressure upon shoulder.The experiment proves that the using of memory foam in wearable exoskeleton has evident effects on optimizing shoulder fatigue with load,promoting movement stability and wearing comfort.展开更多
