Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein is a padded and prewired exoskeleton harness. The exoskeleton harness comprises a clothing article including a clothing material to receive at least a portion of a user. In certain embodiments, the clothing material includes a fabric and at least one patch with a greater coefficient of static friction and greater thickness than the fabric to increase the friction between the user and the exoskeleton, thereby increasing coupling and power transfer therebetween. In certain embodiments, the exoskeleton harness includes at least one internal electronic port positioned at an interior of the clothing material to electronically communicate with one of a plurality of skin-mounted biosensors. The internal ports are prewired within the clothing material to an external electronic a port for communicating with the exoskeleton. The prewiring of the exoskeleton harness facilitates connection between skin-mounted sensors and a data acquisition (DAQ) system.
