A method of operating a modular exoskeleton system, the method comprising: monitoring that one or more actuator units are operably coupled to or removed from the modular exoskeleton system, the modular exoskeleton system includes at least a first actuator unit configured to be operably coupled to the modular exoskeleton system and to be removed from the modular exoskeleton system; determining that the first actuator unit has been operably coupled to the modular exoskeleton system; determining that the first actuator unit has been associated with a first body part of a user; determining a first new operational configuration based at least in part on the determination that the first actuator unit has been operably coupled to the modular exoskeleton system and the determination that the first actuator unit has been associated with the first body part of the user; and setting the first new operational configuration of the modular exoskeleton system. 一种操作模块化外骨骼系统的方法，该方法包括：监测一个或多个致动器单元可操作地联接到模块化外骨骼系统或被从模块化外骨骼系统移除，所
