Wearable exoskeleton robot is a kind of humanoid service robot to help the elderly and the patients with walking dysfunction, it is also an effective medical rehabilitation method to help patients who have walking disorders due to central neural system damage. This paper focuses on the flexible mechanism design of wearable lower limb exoskeleton robot. A wearable exoskeleton robot prototype was developed which can assist human walking. This paper analyzes the role of the major joints of walking human by experimental studies based on bionic design methods from human anatomy and bone surgery. We first analyze parameters of joint movements in a gait cycle, then we design a preliminary bionic model, finally we proposed a control strategy including a pair of electric crutches for the exoskeleton robot.
