Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.2.2 Creating a lightweight exoskeleton

Course subject(s) Module 2. The Building Blocks of the Exoskeleton

If we build an exoskeleton we strive for it to be strong and lightweight. But why do we want it to be lightweight and how do you achieve this? We will tell you more about it in this video.

Materials and structure

Additional note:
When talking about carbon as a material in this cource, we are not referring to carbon as an atom, but to Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP).
