Purpose This paper aims to deal with the development of a novel lower limb exoskeleton to assist disabled people in stair ascending. Design/methodology/approach For this purpose, a novel design of a mixture of motors and cables has been proposed for users to wear them easily and show the application of the system in stair climbing. Findings One of the prominences of this study is the provided robot design where four joints are actuated with only two motors; each motor actuates either the knees or ankles. Another advantage of the designed system is that with motors placed in a backpack, the knee braces can be worn under clothes to be concealed. Finally, the system performance is evaluated using electromyography (EMG) signals showing 28 per cent reduction in energy consumption of related muscles. Originality/value This investigation deals with the development of a novel lower limb exoskeleton to assist disabled people in stair ascending.

Design and control of a lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation of the elderly are the main challenge for health care in the past decades. In order to satisfy the requirements of the elderly or disabled users, this paper presents a novel design and adaptive fuzzy control of lower-limb empowered rehabilitation, namely MOVING UP. Different from other rehabilitation devices, this article considers active rehabilitation training devices. Firstly, a novel product design method based on user experience is proposed for the lower-limb elderly exoskeleton rehabilitation. At the same time, in order to achieve a stable operation control for the assistant rehabilitation system, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is discussed. Finally, the feasibility of the design and control method is validated with a detailed simulation study and the human-interaction test. With the booming demand in the global market for the assistive lower-limb exoskeleton, the methodology developed in this paper will bring more research and manufacturing interests.
