Abstract
In recent years, the demand for wearable technology has grown significantly, driven by advancements that allow electronics to become increasingly compact. Among these innovations are exoskeleton suits, which enhance user strength, reduce fatigue, and help prevent injuries. This project explores the capabilities of exoskeletons in augmenting human strength. Specifically, we developed an exoskeleton arm designed to rotate a valve 360 degrees using a torque wrench set to 150 ft-lbs.
