  • Abstract
    A wearable elbow joint with three passive joints is proposed in this paper. The joint has an advantage of easy attachment to a human arm, without thorough adjustment when attached. This paper describes kinematics, statics and a prototype of the proposed joint, and then reports results of preliminary evaluation.
