Autonomous exoskeleton reduces metabolic cost of human walking during load carriage (2014, background): “Researchers have reduced weight and provided substantial positive power by tethering exoskeletons to an energy supply not worn by the user [18-22].”
A Review of Algorithms for Compliant Control of Stiff and Fixed-Compliance Robots (2016, background): “Both pneumatic and hydraulic actuators have been applied in the past to prosthesis/orthoses [6]–[9], haptic devices, humanoids [10]–[14], and legged robots [15], [16] but their need for compressed air or fluid source is usually difficult to satisfy in a mobile system.”

A Human--Exoskeleton Interface Utilizing Electromyography (2008, methodology): “Continuous EMG evaluation without a physiological model is performed, for example, in [24] for an ankle–foot orthosis where air pressure is linearly related to the EMG signal, in [15] where shoulder movement is computed with a neuro-fuzzy controller, and in [25] for a full body exoskeleton where…”
