최근 직물 또는 유연 재질을 활용하여 높은 착용 편의성을 가지면서 사용자의 움직임을 방해하지 않도록 설계되어 활동성을 높인 근력보조 시스템의 연구 결과들이 발표되고 있다. 이러한 결과들은 특정 분야가 아닌 일반인 또는 고령자를 대상으로한 일상생활용 근력보조 슈트 개발 연구에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대되면서, 근력보조 슈트에 대한 관심 또한 높아지고 있다. 따라서 본고에서는 활용 분야별 근력증강 시스템의 개발 동향과 핵심 기술의 현황에 관하여 기술하고자 한다.

The wearable robot system is designed to assist human skeletal and muscular systems for enhancing user's abilities in various fields, including medical, industrial, and military. The military has an expanding need for wearable robots with the integration of surveillance/control systems and advanced equipment in unstructured battlefield environments. However, there is a lack of research on the design and mechanism of wearable robots, especially for power assist systems. This study proposes a lightweight wearable robot system that provides comfortable wear and muscle support effects in various movements for soldiers performing high-strength and endurance missions. The Power assist mechanism is described and verified, and the tasks that require power assist are analyzed. This study explain the system including its driving mechanism, control system, and mechanical design. Finally, the performance of the robot is verified through experiments and evaluations, demonstrating its effectiveness in muscle support.

Innovative developments in wearable and artificial intelligence technologies are accelerating the emergence of a soft suit that can autonomously augment a body's own strength and protect the human body. In this paper, we define the concept of "Exoskin," a new concept specifically derived from the "Road to an Intelligent Information Society" (Technology Development Map 2035) as predicted by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute. In addition, we analyze the development status of each element of this technology and forecast its future development.
