Firstly, the characteristics of human walking and demanding power of lower limbs are analyzed. Secondly, mechanical design and modelling of the exoskeleton are calculated based on the establishment of virtual prototype and simulation in Adams. Then, the electric-hydraulic servo driving system is designed on account of exoskeleton operations. Finally, ranges of motion and actuators for exoskeleton are investigated and optimized. The proposed indexes, including the matching degree, etc., are verified and which are used for study on relationships between lower limbs and joints of the exoskeleton. Therefore, the experimental results show that the proposed design for the exoskeleton is feasible and effective.
