Abstract-The purpose of this paper and project is to understand the basic fundamental of the design of Exoskeleton. Exoskeleton is a wearable electromechanical device to overcome limits of human body with the help of modern technology and person’s ability to decisive thinking and control. The designed exoskeleton provides an arm support with 3-degrees of freedom for wrist to rotate freely and a mechanism to help lift weights. The aim is to reduce muscle strain during work, thereby enhancing the wearer's ability to lift heavy objects. Essentially, it increases the user's arm strength by providing external torque to counteract load forces. Although exoskeletons have various applications, their high-cost limits widespread use. Developing an affordable solution would be beneficial across industries, medical technology, and military operations. The proposed design will be based on average human dimensions and, once successful, could be expanded for broader and domestic use.

Key Words:  exoskeleton, degree of freedom.
