Abstract
An exoskeleton pelvic sub-assembly includes one or more pelvic links each having a hip sagittal rotation axis and an inguinal sagittal rotation axis different from the hip sagittal rotation axis. A hip joint is coupled to the pelvic link and is configured to be coupled to a hip link of the exoskeleton. The hip joint is configured to allow sagittal plane rotation of the pelvic link with respect to the hip link about the hip sagittal rotation axis. One or more inguinal joints are also coupled to the pelvic link, each configured to be coupled to a thigh link. The inguinal joint is configured to allow sagittal plane rotation of the pelvic link with respect to the thigh link about the inguinal sagittal rotation axis.
