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,

Hopping frequency influences elastic energy reuse with joint series elastic actuators

Journal of Biomechanics, 2021
Robotic limb design struggles to combine energy efficiency with human-like levels of movement versatility. High efficiency and a range of angles and torques are characteristics of human hopping at different frequencies. Humans use muscles in combination with tendons to achieve the required joint actuation.

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.

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.
