“…Some robot designs do consider contact safety. A redundant degree of freedom, back-drivability, and the use of proven safety braces are a few of the safety measures used in such cases [1], [2]. However, studies in these areas have mainly focused on the development of a particular mechanism or the robot itself.…”

Wearable robots have finally reached a point at which they can be put to more practical use. However, methods for assessing their safety have yet to be properly established. Furthermore, for ethical reasons, such assessments must be conducted without exposing the human user to unnecessary danger. Therefore, in this study, a lower-leg dummy for the safety assessment of a wearable robot was developed to evaluate the effects of a misaligned knee joint.
