Wearable robots are one of the most spectacular examples of mechatronic devices. They are person-oriented robots that can be defined as those worn by human operators, whether to improve the function of a semi-functional limb or to replace it completely. The paper presents deliberation on design of a kinematic layout of an orthotic robot. The analyses are opened by a short gloss about types of human gait. That gives a base to consider kinematics of coupled human lower limb and a robotic manipulator. The author indicate that the proposed design of an orthotic robot which moves user’s legs by moving his feet, allows using it without strenuous fixers known from present models. Also author proves that maladjustment of joints axes and pivots and/or length of exoskeleton components has no influence on walking process and very slight one to sitting characteristics.
