N2 - Although the era of automation is slowly taking over, manual labor still has not lost its importance in the industrial sector. The demanding productivity leads to a lot of stress and strain on the muscles causing them to become weaker and thus eventually reducing mobility. Primary prevention is the best method. So, the exoskeleton plays a vital role, as it reduces the stress being concentrated on the arm muscle. The exoskeleton belongs to the branch of orthotics where an external brace or frame is used to provide support and strength to the bone and muscle area. The proposed project of implementing an EMG-based arm exoskeleton aims to reduce the stress and strain on muscles faced daily in industries. On accessing the various studies made by researchers, the gaps in implementation and noteworthy discoveries of a product have been designed keeping all of these aspects in mind. The exoskeleton would be powered with cost-effective pneumatic artificial muscles which are triggered by EMG signals from the muscles. The exoskeleton would concentrate the weight on the PAM muscles which would transfer the weight to the lower body using arm belts.
