On the use of (lockable) parallel elasticity in active prosthetic ankles

IROS 2020poster

New challenges arise when investigating the use of active prostheses for lower limb replacement, such as high motor power requirements, leading to increased weight and reduced autonomy. Series and parallel elasticity are often explored to reduce the necessary motor power but often the effect on the…

Scaling laws for parallel motor-gearbox arrangements

IROS 2020poster

Research towards (compliant) actuators, especially redundant ones like the Series Parallel Elastic Actuator (SPEA), has led to the development of drive trains, which have demonstrated to increase efficiency, torque-to-mass-ratio, power-to-mass ratio, etc. In the field of robotics such drive trains c…
