Design and Fabrication of Wearable Ergonomic Mechanical Posture Supporting Device

When production in any company increase, it directly affects the workers; that they have to work hard to achieve the production goal. This standing all over day create pressure on legs and stress and fatigue is developed in body, which directly affect the capacity and accuracy of the work. Our problem is to invent a device to support the body weight of workers while working on assembly line just like a chair which will be light-weight and wearable. Project is based on improving the human performance by using lower body exoskeleton. The aim of the device is to support the weight if user while sitting in different positions. Though there are no. of exoskeletons available in market but are not used by common public due to cost issue. In this project we have to study, design and analyze the developed mechanism to support the human posture while working. Model is also fabricated to show how this mechanism works. We have used CAD and CAE software for modelling and simulation as well as cutting, drilling and bending machine to fabricate the model.
