Abstract

Claims (58)

1. A system, comprising:

one or more processors, coupled with memory, to:

receive communications from a plurality of exoskeletons worn by a plurality of users;

identify feedback on performance associated with an exoskeleton of the plurality of exoskeletons for a foot-ankle of a user of the plurality of users;

determine a parameter to control the exoskeleton based on the communications, the feedback, and a profile associated with the exoskeleton or the user; and

provide an instruction to cause the exoskeleton to operate based on the parameter.

2. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the one or more processors to receive, via a network, the profile from one or more servers.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the profile is a group profile.

4. The system of claim 1 , comprising the one or more processors to:

determine a category of the user; and

determine the parameter based on the category of the user.

5. The system of claim 1 , comprising:

the one or more processors to determine the parameter based on a plurality of profiles associated with the plurality of users.

6. The system of claim 1 , comprising the one or more processors to:

generate a score for a performance of the user with the exoskeleton based on a baseline; and

provide a notification based on the score.

7. The system of claim 1 , comprising the one or more processors to:

pair the exoskeleton with a client device via a wireless connection; and

provide, via the wireless connection, second feedback on performance of the exoskeleton to the client device paired with the exoskeleton.

8. The system of claim 7 , comprising:

a quick response code configured to cause the client device to pair with the exoskeleton; or

a near field communication tag configured to cause the client device to pair with the exoskeleton.

9. The system of claim 1 , comprising the one or more processors to:

detect an issue associated with performance of the exoskeleton; and

provide, for presentation via a client device paired with the exoskeleton, a notification based on the issue.

10. The system of claim 1 , comprising the one or more processors to:

receive, from a client device paired with the exoskeleton, the feedback;

identify a property of a route along which the exoskeleton operates; and

determine the parameter to control the exoskeleton based on the feedback, the profile, and the property of the route.

11. A method, comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors coupled with memory, communications from a plurality of exoskeletons worn by a plurality of users;

identifying, by the one or more processors, feedback on performance associated with an exoskeleton of the plurality of exoskeletons for a foot-ankle of a user of the plurality of users;

determining, by the one or more processors, a parameter to control the exoskeleton based on the communications, the feedback, and a profile associated with the exoskeleton or the user; and

providing, by the one or more processors, an instruction to cause the exoskeleton to operate based on the parameter.

12. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

receiving, by the one or more processors via a network, the profile from one or more servers.

13. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

determining, by the or more processors, a category of the user; and

determining, by the one or more processors, the parameter based on the category of the user.

14. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

determining, by the one or more processors, the parameter based on a plurality of profiles associated with the plurality of users.

15. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

pairing, via the one or more processors, the exoskeleton with a client device via a wireless connection; and

providing, by the one or more processors via the wireless connection, second feedback on performance of the exoskeleton to the client device paired with the exoskeleton.

16. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

detecting, by the one or more processors, an issue associated with performance of the exoskeleton; and

providing, by the one or more processors, for presentation via a client device paired with the exoskeleton, a notification based on the issue.

17. The method of claim 11 , comprising:

receive, from a client device paired with the exoskeleton, the feedback;

identify a property of a route along which the exoskeleton operates; and

determine the parameter to control the exoskeleton based on the feedback, the profile, and the property of the route.

18. An exoskeleton for a foot-ankle of a user, comprising:

one or more processors, coupled with memory, to:

receive communications from a plurality of exoskeletons worn by a plurality of users;

identify feedback on performance associated with the exoskeleton for the foot-ankle of the user;

determine a parameter to control the exoskeleton based on the feedback and a profile associated with the exoskeleton or the user; and

provide an instruction to cause the exoskeleton to operate based on the parameter.
