Exoskeletons for the human body

Exoskeletons: manufacture & operation

TÜV AUSTRIA supports you in the development & integration of exoskeletons. Exoskeletons are scaffolds that are attached to the body and consist of mechanical and/or mechatronic components. The user can be supported during physically strenuous or physically monotonous activities through force redirection or active force support. This reduces negative health impacts and cycle times. TÜV AUSTRIA supports manufacturers in the legally compliant and standard-compliant development and operators in the safe integration of exoskeletons into their production environment.

Types of exoskeletons

The distinction between:

  • passive exoskeletons
  • active exoskeletons

refers to the type of drive, whereby passive exoskeletons are usually put on lightly and flexibly like a backpack.

Active exoskeletons, on the other hand, are strapped on like a suit and usually have a more complex structure due to the drives in the individual joints.
