A Bimodal Hydrostatic Actuator for Robotic Legs with Compliant Fast Motion and High Lifting Force
Alex Lecavalier, Jeff Denis, Jean-Sébastien Plante +1
Robotic legs have bimodal operations: swing phases when the leg needs to move quickly in the air (high-speed, low-force) and stance phases when the leg bears the weight of the syst…

Multimodal Hydrostatic Actuators for Wearable Robots: A Preliminary Assessment of Mass-Saving and Energy-Efficiency Opportunities
Jeff Denis, Alex Lecavalier, Jean-Sebastien Plante +1
Wearable robots are limited by their actuators performances because they must bear the weight of their own power system and energy source. This paper explores the idea of leveragin…
