Mechatronic Solutions for Force-Controlled Wearable Robotics
摘要
This abstract presents three mechatronic concepts with a high potential for the design of affordable force-controlled exoskeletons. These concepts allow to reduce costs and improve exoskeleton controllability at the same time. The concepts are related to (1) how to avoid oversizing actuators to obtain more lightweight, affordable, and transparent systems (2) how to enhance force controllability by mechanics (3) how to improve device transparency.
