Study on Compliant Actuator of the Knee Joint for Exoskeleton

The compliance of the joint for exoskeleton is very important in adapting to the wearer's motions and human-machine compatibility. However,the conventional rigid or passive compliant mechanisms cannot achieve the purpose of active compliance due to the non-real-time feedback of the human-machin...

Description
Summary:The compliance of the joint for exoskeleton is very important in adapting to the wearer's motions and human-machine compatibility. However,the conventional rigid or passive compliant mechanisms cannot achieve the purpose of active compliance due to the non-real-time feedback of the human-machine interaction forces. Therefore,an active compliant actuator of the knee joint is developed,using of the antagonistic driving principles and the force-position transformation of the slider-crank mechanism,which can not only implement the compliance of the traditional series elastic actuator,but also can obtain the real-time human-machine interaction forces. Finally,the feasibility and effectiveness of the compliant actuator are verified by tests.
