The aim is to design and fabricate a wearable robotic device that can be used for upper limb rehabilitation by stroke survivors who are struggling with paralysis in their arm and have lost the arm motor function due to sport injury, trauma, industrial injury or weakness in elderly people. Even nowadays in youth, the problem of cervical spondylosis has been increased tremendously. The Exo-Arm may be thought of as a part of superhero’s costume but this idea is totally for an ordinary person, for his convenience. It is a rigid robotic design that would be worn by the user. It is a battery operated frame that will work on a windshield motor and will function as an assistive device to move the user’s arm. Our prototype consists of a strong, reliable and rigid outer structure or frame made of iron and wood to provide proper support to arm. It consists of Arduino microcontroller, a motor driving IC and a motor. The lifting and releasing of the arm is controlled by a switch. After fully assembling the design, the hardware part and the frame part of our prototype was not more than 1kg and could easily lift up to 9kg of distributed weight. Though many Exoskeltons have been made, they are either expensive to buy or too bulky to carry. This prototype meets all the weight/volume/price requirements, and has a quick operation time.
