Design of RYSEN: An Intrinsically Safe and Low-Power Three-Dimensional Overground Body Weight Support

RA-L 2018

Body weight support (BWS) systems are widely used in gait research and rehabilitation. This letter introduces a new three-dimensional overground BWS system, called the RYSEN. The RYSEN is designed to be intrinsically safe and low power consuming, while still performing at least as well as existing B

Design and evaluation of the Bi-directional Clutched Parallel Elastic Actuator (BIC-PEA)

ICRA 2015poster

Parallel elastic actuators (PEAs) have shown the ability to reduce the energy consumption of robots. The problem with regular PEAs is that it is not possible to freely choose at which instant or configuration to store or release energy. This paper introduces the concept and the design of the Bi-dire…

The effect of the choice of feedforward controllers on the accuracy of low gain controlled robots

IROS 2015poster

High feedback gains cannot be used on all robots due to sensor noise, time delays or interaction with humans. The problem with low feedback gain controlled robots is that the accuracy of the task execution is potentially low. In this paper we investigate if trajectory optimization of feedback-feedfo…
