The hip joint exoskeleton causes pain at the position of application due to misalignment of the hip joint exoskeleton. To solve this problem, we applied a parallel link mechanism. We designed and fabricated a hip joint exoskeleton using four parallel link mechanisms so that the range of motion of the hip joint exoskeleton can cover the range of motion of walking. A force sensor was attached to the fabricated hip exoskeleton by shifting its position on the evaluation device. The evaluation was performed by measuring the force and -motor moment generated at the position of the thigh. The measured values showed that a large force was generated when the hip joint approached a singular posture.]
