Fully reconfigurable tetrahedral exoskeleton

This physical amplification frame is formed from tetrahedral arrangements of linear actuators and allows a very wide bodily movement scheme with realtime bodily adaptation, unlike conventional fixed-frame servo exoskeletons.
The structure leaves the front of the body fully unhindered, providing a good contact surface with the manipulated loads and tools. This scheme allows simple step-in and step-out of the exoskeleton, which can be left leaning against a wall, with unassisted closing and opening of the bracelets.
Automatically hinged kneepads and metallic shoecaps protect the crucial knee and feet areas from dangerous amplified force strikes.
Pressure sensors inside the bracelets are providing the frame with the motion signals for movement.
The actuators consist of high-speed servo motors in a wormdrive configuration with unlocking mechanisms to put the actuator in free-running mode. Novel metamaterial surfaces allow nearly zero-friction operations with minimal gaps. A common-rail energy cable has a combined power-signal voltage going serially throughout every actuator, reducing the amount of cables to absolute minimum. The digital signal is frequency-separated, filtered out of the power carrier wave and injected into it by onboard electronics.
The Aluminium-Magnesium structure is specifically shaped for a maximal expression of the limbal movements.
The power pack consists of a conventional microjet inductor fed by kerosene or any other liquid jet fuel, but can be replaced with any prospective power generator, such as carbon nanotube cells or graphene reinforced flywheel technology.
The pack is refuelable during operation, the exhaust heat is reduced by a widened heat distribution nozzle.
A top bow integrated into the spine actuator nexus is protecting the head from dangerous hits.
