In the work presented in this paper the conceptual design and actuation of one new exoskeleton of the upper limb is presented. The device is designed for application where the motion of the human arm is supported by an external aid which runs with the help of a windshield wiper motor which is in turn controlled by a VNH2NP30 DC dual motor driver and is also capable of gauging the weight by a load cell for which an amplifier HX711 load cell amplifier is used and also connected over the internet through the node MCU ESP32 which is a Wi-Fi module. The motor is set made to rotate with a 12V battery as its source of power input. All the functionalities are controlled and programmed by Arduino UNO microcontroller. By programming the Arduino UNO microcontroller we can achieve the direction of the exoarm rotation and also the speed and torque of the movement of the exoarm.
