Standard methods of drug treatment are aimed at restoring adirect connection between the brain and the muscles of the limbs. However, there is not a single drug that is able to restore feedback. In this case, the official medicine refers to physiotherapeutic methods of treatment and physiotherapy exercises, which patients receive in short courses, practically unable to use them at home, with the exception of active, but more often passive, exercises that require outside help. This type of treatment should be available to patients every day, is low in production, simple and easy to use, which plays a key role in the adaptation of children with disabilities and allows them to become full members of society and take an active part in all aspects of social life. The solution of this problem in many respects becomes possible due to the innovative direction of bioengineering - the design and implementation of the exoskeleton of the upper limb.

INTRODUCTION
To date, there is an acute shortage of scientific and technical developments in the field, as the analysis of the dynamics of complex movements of the exoskeleton (such as walking), and in the construction of control systems for active exoskeletons, taking into account the features of modern gearless electric drives.
The aim of the work is to create a model of high detail active exoskeletons equipped with high-torque electric drives.
Achieving this goal involves several tasks:
1. Analysis of the basic requirements for exoskeletons;
2. The choice of mathematical apparatus for constructing a model
of the dynamics of the exoskeleton;
3. Construction of a mathematical model of the dynamics of a five­stage exoskeleton, taking into account the interconnection of the dynamics of the links and the dependence of the electrical parameters of the electric drive on the coordinates of the mechanical structure, and its implementation by means of Matlab;
4. Computer study of the dynamics of the exoskeleton motion using the constructed model;
Checking the efficiency of the exoskeleton electric drive control.

1. INFORMATIONAL-ANALYTICAL REVIEW
1.1. Exoskeleton: a historical perspective
Exoskeleton [1] (from Greek. έξω-external and σκελετος - skeleton) - a device designed to increase human strength due to the external frame. The exoskeleton follows the biomechanics of human rights to a proportional increase in effort during the movements. There should be sensors that monitor the state of the human body, the movement of his legs, arms, muscles (and in the future, perhaps his thoughts). That is, from the point of view of implementation, it is a mechanical skeleton with a system of limb drives and a computer program that works on the basis of a mathematical model of the movement of the human body, which on the basis of data from sensors controls all this exoskeleton.
Exoskeleton [1] the external type of skeleton is typical for most invertebrates, in which it is presented in the form of shells (many protozoa, mollusks) or cuticles (chitinous shell of arthropods) in some invertebrates. Before arthropods include insects, crustaceans, arachnids and millipedes, and this group can be considered the most prosperous group of living organisms. The number of arthropod species exceeds the number of species of all other animals combined.
Based on these data, we can conclude: the exoskeleton was invented by Nature. He invented and uses it very actively in his works. And man, at some point decided, based on his intelligence, to follow the path of nature, also creating an exoskeleton for himself. Such a device, in addition to increasing the possibilities of a healthy person, can help patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, on which even the leading companies of the world are working.
Science and technology [3] is, without exaggeration, the most intense race of human ingenuity and nature. Throughout its history, people are trying to remake the world around them for their needs. Where she could, often not without harm to the environment. Somewhere you have to peek
8
at her. And if most invertebrates in one form or another have an external skeleton, a person does not. But no wings?
Nowadays, the term "exoskeleton" refers to a mechanical suit or part of it up to 2-2.5 meters high.
Like so much else in our lives, exoskeletons are gradually crossing the line between bold dreams and everyday life. Being at first just ideas, concepts, myths and legends of science fiction, today almost every week there are new versions of this creation.
The first inventor of the exoskeleton is the Russian "mechanical engineer" Nikolai ferdinandovich Yagn, who in the 1890s registered a number of patents on this topic. He lived in America, where, in fact, he patented his miracles, showed them at exhibitions, and after returning to his native land again invented. His exoskeleton was supposed to facilitate walking, running and jumping in the first place, soldiers. Even then, the Russian genius foresaw the potential military power of such devices.
We will not deny, gigantic and immense contribution to the development of exoskeletons made fiction. In 1959, after a high-profile novel by Robert Heinlein's "Starship troopers" it became clear that the external frame suits − the future of military action and not only.
The first attempt to create an exoskeleton design was made in the 1960s. Created by "General electric" together with the us Department of defense prototype "Hardiman" had its own weight of 680 kg. Thanks to the exoskeleton, the operator could lift loads of up to 340 kg. it was Planned to use the exoskeleton to work on military arsenals, work with large-caliber aviation ammunition, for work under water and in space, as well as for operation at nuclear power plants. Unfortunately, trials in 1965, the suit was not the best in the series did not go.
Power was supplied via an external cable. The system was equipped with computer control, which did not work very well both because of the imperfection of the computers themselves and because of the lack of, at that time, an adequate mathematical model. As a result, attempts to use a full set of exoskeletons led to uncontrolled movements of the latter

(falling), although some of its elements (for example, the hand) worked successfully. Hardiman has never been tested with a man inside.
But the beginning was made. There was an experience that allowed the following developers to move on, not to start from scratch. The Hardiman project was closed in 1971 due to the lack of prospects for its development.
In 1968, Miomir Vukobratovich from Yugoslav Belgrade showed the first power walking exoskeleton, whose task was to enable people to walk with paralysis of the lower extremities. The device was based on a pneumatic actuator. Soviet scientists from the Central Institute of traumatology and orthopedics named after M. M. Priorov showed the first initiatives to develop exoskeletons together with Yugoslav colleagues on the basis of the work of Vukobratovich. But with the beginning of perestroika projects were closed, and about the secret underground development of exoskeletons no data. However, space exploration was good.
Then there were two decades not that stagnation, research and development, of course, were conducted, but there were no big breakthroughs, probably through small funding. But experience and knowledge, no matter what, accumulated. In parallel with this, there were changes in related areas: computer technology, batteries, materials, control systems, etc. All this came in handy when a breakthrough in this area began. And it happened when the exoskeleton was again remembered by the military.
Program – "exoskeletons for people". In 2001, the Agency Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA − Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency) of the Ministry of defense the beginning of the seven-year program, Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation Program, highlighting her $ 75 million. Projects from 14 companies and universities were considered. In the first phase of the project were selected: Sarcos Research Corporation, University of California at Berkeley and Oak Ridge national Laboratory. Sarcos and the University of Berkeley remained in the second phase of the project. At the final stage of the program, which began
10
in 2004, Sarcos Research Corporation was chosen as the main contractor for the development and development of fast, armored and powerful exoskeleton systems. Soon Sarcos was acquired by a larger company Raytheon, engaged in the implementation of various defense orders. However, work on the exoskeletons were continued, and according to reports, very successfully [3].
Research into the creation of active exoskeletons began in the late 1960s, almost in parallel between several research groups in the United States and in the former Yugoslavia. [1] There were differences in the intended use: strengthening the capacity of able-bodied people, often for military purposes, and the development of assistive technologies for persons with disabilities. Despite these differences, the two development areas faced the same challenges and limitations, closely related to portability and human-operator interaction.
Exoskeletons that increase productivity are designed to provide healthy people with the ability to more easily perform complex tasks and tasks that otherwise can not be performed.
Most of the first works in the field of performance-enhancing exoskeletons were only developments that never left the drawing Board, and several prototypes that were built and tested – were ineffective.
The earliest mention of a device resembling an exoskeleton is a set of us patents granted in 1890 by Nicholas Yagn. This invention was intended to increase the speed of running and jumping. However, this device has not been built or successfully demonstrated. The device represented in the patents is shown in figure 1.1.
