An exoskeleton device includes a plurality of braces that are each attachable to a part of a user. A plurality of joints connects adjacent braces. Each joint is controllable to bend or unbend so as to cause the exoskeleton device to change between an erect configuration and a sitting configuration. At least one support column is extendible from a brace. A length of the support column is adjustable. A controller is configured to adjust the length of the support column in coordination with the bending or unbending of a joint to provide support for the exoskeleton device when in the sitting configuration.一種外骨骼裝置包括各可附接至一使用者之一部分的複數個托架。複數個關節連接相鄰的托架。各關節可控制以彎曲或伸直,以便使得該外骨骼裝置在一豎立配置及一坐下配置之間改變。至少一個支持柱可從一托架延伸。該支持柱的一長度是可調整的。一控制器,配置為與一關節的該彎曲或伸直協調地調整該支持柱的該長度,以在該坐下配置下時針對該外骨骼裝置提供支持。10‧‧‧外骨骼裝置12‧‧‧軀幹托架14‧‧‧腿托架16‧‧‧可控制關節18‧‧‧腿支架19‧‧‧腳支架20‧‧‧柱延伸機制22‧‧‧支持柱30‧‧‧控制器32‧‧‧處理器34‧‧‧資料存儲單元36‧‧‧感應器38‧‧‧使用者控制件42‧‧‧支持表面
