Initial Description
FPL has sponsored a mechanical engineering and electrical engineering team to design and fabricate a lower limb exoskeleton. It has been made clear that FPL would like a working prototype by the end of this project. The main purpose of this project is to assist linemen workers who climb power line poles everyday. It is a strenuous task that requires strength and perseverance. FPL is requesting that our lower limb exoskeleton assist the climber without getting in the way, or increasing risk of injury. In fact, our design is meant to increase proper ergonomics, and reduce the risk of injury. Safety is paramount for FPL and so it is for us as well.
