Abstract: As robotics advances, exoskeleton technology has come a long way since its beginnings in the late 60's. Scientists around the world have created their own designs of exoskeletons and some of the well-known exoskeletons include BLEEX, MIT exoskeleton, HAL, LOPES, ALEX and more. Although technology has improved since the 1960s, the exoskeleton design still faces challenges. In this study we will review various exoskeleton technologies as well as their role in the rehabilitation area. A humanoid robot is generally defined as a programmable machine which can imitate the actions as well as the appearance of human. Humanoid robot has two main functions, which are the ability in acquiring information from its surrounding and the ability to carry out physical work such as moving or manipulating objects. After years of research and study, the available humanoid robots nowadays have different sizes, weights,heights which are related to their several applications.
