Design and Development of a Knee Mechanism for a Passive-Dynamic Walker
Passive-dynamic walkers are mechanical devices that walk down a slope without being propelled by motors or controllers. In this paper we present the design of two different knee mechanisms intended for use with such walkers. At first we developed a knee mechanism that uses permanent magnets to lock...
