Abstract:	Power assisted exoskeletons can effectively improve walking efficiency. Taking ankle joint assistance as the research object, this study reviews domestic and international literature to elucidate the technological development and research status of ankle foot assistive exoskeletons. By comparing and analyzing the technical characteristics of existing ankle foot assistive exoskeletons in terms of structural form, energy conversion, and driving mode, the study describes the power assistance principles, configuration design, control strategies, and metabolic consumption of different exoskeletons. Furthermore, the study examines the current challenges and provides insights into future trends in this field.
