The PREHydrA: A Passive Return, High Force Density, Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator Concept for Wearable Robotics

This letter presents the Passive Return Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator (PREHydrA), an actuator for use in wearable robotics. It eliminates conventional hydraulic systems' fluid supply and valves, potentially making it lighter, more efficient, and simpler. It also avoids the configuration-dependent fri
