Abstract
The article describes the synthesis module of design solutions for passive and active exoskeletons, taking into account the anthropometric parameters of the operator, the requirements and limitations imposed on the exoskeleton. Exoskeletons, presented on the market of their functional-parametric structure and technical characteristics, are investigated. The method of generating design solutions is considered by the example of an exoskeleton. An algorithm has been developed for the operator upper and lower extremities exoskeleton assembly synthesis, taking into account the anthropometric characteristics, requirements, and limitations of the exoskeleton, and also developed a system prototype for generating the assembly of the exoskeleton with regard to the anthropometric characteristics. The system for generating assemblies of different types of exoskeletons makes it easy to adapt to emerging markets and select the most suitable model taking into account various parameters.
