Abstract :
The feasibility of using exoskeletons in the performance of a simple task is discussed. The exoskeleton device has a total weight of 33 lb when unsupported, and it has seven joints. A Fitts´ law paradigm was used to characterize the tradeoff between speed and accuracy for the task. The results of tests with five subjects are given
