Artificial human limbs and joints employing actuators, springs and variable-damper elements

摘要: Biomimetic Hybrid Actuators employed in biologically-inspired musculoskeletal architectures employ an electric motor for supplying positive energy to and storing negative from artificial joint or limb, as well elastic elements such springs, controllable variable damper components, passively releasing providing adaptive stiffness accommodate level ground walking movement on stairs surfaces having different slopes.
