Abstract
Exoskeleton technology appreciates rising sales and rumors are circulating about more use of hydraulic actuation in future. This paper gives general requirements on exoskeleton actuation technologies and concludes that only new hydraulic principles have a chance to fulfill the extremely challenging requirements. The digital hydraulic cylinder and its control by a hydraulic binary counter are briefly presented as one promising principle.
