Real-Time Gait Phase and Task Estimation for Controlling a Powered Ankle Exoskeleton on Extremely Uneven Terrain
Roberto Leo Medrano, Gray Cortright Thomas, Connor G. Keais +2
Positive biomechanical outcomes have been reported with lower-limb exoskeletons in laboratory settings, but these devices have difficulty delivering appropriate assistance in synch…
Design and Characterization of 3D Printed, Open-Source Actuators for Legged Locomotion
Karthik Urs, Challen Enninful Adu, Elliott J. Rouse +1
Impressive animal locomotion capabilities are mediated by the co-evolution of the skeletal morphology and muscular properties. Legged robot performance would also likely benefit fr…
Alternative Metrics to Select Motors for Quasi-Direct Drive Actuators
Karthik Urs, Challen Enninful Adu, Elliott J. Rouse +1
Robotic systems for legged locomotion -- including legged robots, exoskeletons, and prosthetics -- require actuators with low inertia and high output torque. Traditionally, motors…
