Evaluation results
| Method | Links | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| fPAM-actuated exosuitStructure and Compliance=Seven fPAM actuators and separate base; design includes routing points and underactuation2026.03 | 3 | 1.2 | |
| Cable-driven exosuitStructure and Compliance=Five cables connect between a shoulder vest and a head piece to apply a moment on the head; cables are remotely actuated using electric motors; compliance is from force control2026.03 | 3 | 1.5 | |
| Rigid-link exoskeletonStructure and Compliance=Three-legged revolute-revolute-spherical parallel rigid linkage mechanism optimized to mimic 3D human head-neck movements; actuated by three servomotors mounted on the shoulders; no built-in compliance2026.03 | 3 | 1.2 | |
| Elastic neck exoskeletonStructure and Compliance=Compliant rod mechanism supports the weight of the head; the physical compliance of the rod can be adjusted via motors; has a passive degree of freedom for axial rotation2026.03 | 2 | 2.5 |
