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).
