A Stiffness Estimator for Agonistic-Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness-Actuator Devices
Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction, conservation of energy and adaptability are just the main robotic applications that prompted the development of a number of Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA). Implemented in a variety of ways, they use various technologies, and feature the most diverse mechanical solutions, all of which share a fundamentally unavoidable nonlinear behavior. The control sch...
متن کاملA Quasi-Passive Leg Exoskeleton for Load-Carrying Augmentation
A quasi-passive leg exoskeleton is presented for load-carrying augmentation during walking. The exoskeleton has no actuators, only ankle and hip springs and a knee variabledamper. Without a payload, the exoskeleton weighs 11.7 kg and requires only 2 Watts of electrical power during loaded walking. For a 36 kg payload, we demonstrate that the quasi-passive exoskeleton transfers on average 80% of...
متن کاملLoad Carrying Capacity of Simply Supported Variable Thickness Circular Plates
The calculation of the load carrying capacity of variable thickness circular plates subjected to arbitrary rotational symmetric loading is presented. The analysis considers plate materials that obey either the square or the Tresca yield criterion. By using upper and lower bound theorems of limit analysis, corresponding estimations for the load carrying capacity of the plate are obtained. It is ...
متن کاملBiomechanical modeling and load-carrying simulation of lower limb exoskeleton.
This paper introduces novel modern equipment-a lower extremity exoskeleton, which can implement the mutual complement and the interaction between human intelligence and the robot's mechanical strength. In order to provide a reference for the exoskeleton structure and the drive unit, the human biomechanics were modeled and analyzed by LifeModeler and Adams software to derive each joint kinematic...
متن کاملAVASTT: A New Variable Stiffness Actuator with Torque Threshold
Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSAs) emerged as an alternative to conventional actuators in a variety of applications, such as walking robots and service robotics. New requirements, which were obviated in the design of rigid actuators, must be accounted for during the mechanical design of such new devices. Among them, we find the possibility of tunning the natural frequency of the mechanical sys...
