Clutched Elastic Actuators

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2017
This paper identifies the class of actuators called clutched elastic actuators (CEAs). CEAs use clutches to control the energy flow into springs. CEAs in exoskeletons, prostheses, legged robots, and robotic arms have shown the ability to reduce the energy consumption and motor requirements, such as peak torque and peak power. Because of those abilities,

Electromagnetically driven elastic actuator

2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO 2014), 2014
Elastic and active elements will play a leading role in the development of dexterous and compliant robots. We present the fabrication of an elastic functional structure with ferromagnetic properties capable of producing compressive stress and strain in the presence of magnetic fields.

Motion control of series-elastic actuators

2016 American Control Conference (ACC), 2016
Direct, physical interaction between a human and a robot has potential to provide assistance or rehabilitation which can extend the human user's physical capabilities. To be successful, the robot must be able to realize the system-level objectives without compromising the subject's safety.

A switchable clutched parallel elasticity actuator

2017 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM), 2017
We report on the development of a novel switchable clutched parallel elastic actuator (SCPEA), which is composed of active components, such as a brake and clutch, as well as passive components, such as a ratchet and one-way bearing. The proposed SCPEA can actively control the storing, preserving, and releasing of the spring potential energy to and from

Force Control of Series Elastic Actuator: Implications for Series Elastic Actuator Design

2015 Fifth International Conference on Instrumentation and Measurement, Computer, Communication and Control (IMCCC), 2015
The force controller of series elastic actuator (SEA) is an important issue, because it determines the output performance of SEA (the bandwidth and the resonant peak). However, the existing force controllers of SEA attach little importance to the determinants of the performance.

Series elasticity and actuator power output

Proceedings 2006 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2006. ICRA 2006., 2006
In this investigation we put forth a simple model to quantify the capacity of series elasticity to increase peak power output from an actuator. Using a linear bandwidth limited force source, we show how series spring stiffness and source stroke length effect power output to an inertial load.
