title = "A Passive Upper Limb Assistive Exoskeleton for Overhead Assembly Tasks",
abstract = "Upper limb exoskeletons can provide workers with assistance, becoming an effective solution to reduce the prevalence of WMSDS. This paper introduces a novel passive upper limb exoskeleton able to assist workers with overhead assembly tasks. The exoskeleton proposes two key mechanisms: (1) a torque generating mechanism capable of generating adjustable torque profiles to suit the arm position required for overhead work, and (2) a shoulder alignment mechanism consisting of a passive kinematic chain with redundant DoFs. Numerical optimization was performed to obtain better output torque profiles. A prototype is worn with wearing comfort and provides upper limb assistance, which can be used in industrial for overhead assembly tasks.",
