Resumen
The main objective of the ExoEpi project is to develop personal protective footwear for long-duration emergency response activities that incorporates an integrated exoskeleton to help the user develop gait patterns that reduce fatigue and improve performance. This work presents the design, control, and evaluation of the developed exoskeleton. The device consists of an electric motor and a crank system that allows it to be attached to safety shoes. In addition, the system has inertial sensors that allow the detection of different gait phases to support the phases of greater effort. Finally, the ExoEpi device was evaluated using oxygen consumption measurements to estimate fatigue when the exoskeleton is used in active and passive modes. The results suggest that fatigue decreases when the exoskeleton is in active mode.
