Generalization of Series Elastic Actuator Configurations and Dynamic Behavior Comparison

open access: yesActuators, 2017
The Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) has recently been developed by many research groups and applied in various fields. As SEA is the combination of motor, spring, gear and load, various types and configurations of mechanism have been developed as SEAs to ...

Design and Control of a Series–Parallel Elastic Actuator for a Weight-Bearing Exoskeleton Robot

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Weight-bearing exoskeletons are robots that need to carry loads and interact with humans frequently. Therefore, the actuators of these exoskeletons are supposed to be capable of outputting sufficient force with high compliance and little weight. A series–

Robust Force Control of Series Elastic Actuators [PDF]

open access: yesActuators, 2014
Force-controlled series elastic actuators (SEA) are widely used in novel human-robot interaction (HRI) applications, such as assistive and rehabilitation robotics. These systems are characterized by the presence of the “human in the loop”, so that control response and stability depend on uncertain human dynamics, including reflexes and voluntary forces.

Design and Validation of a Lightweight Hip Exoskeleton Driven by Series Elastic Actuator With Two-Motor Variable Speed Transmission

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
To overcome the different requirements of torque-velocity characteristics for walking, running, stand-to-sit, sit-to-stand, and climbing stairs, we propose a novel concept for actuator design, namely, a series elastic actuator with two-motor variable ...

Design and Experiment of an Anthropomorphic Robot Hand for Variable Grasping Stiffness

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
This paper introduces an anthropomorphic robot hand that has variable grasping stiffness to unknown objects without damage. The robot hand has four fingers, 13 DoFs (Degrees of Freedom) with three SEA (Series Elastic Actuator) modules in the index ...

Improving the Dynamic Force Control of Series Elastic Actuation Using Motors of High Torque-to-Inertia Ratios

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
A series elastic actuator (SEA) includes an elastic spring in series with an actuator. SEAs provide more accurate force and impedance control than conventional rigid actuators.

The Redesigned Serpens, a Low-Cost, Highly Compliant Snake Robot

open access: yesRobotics, 2022
The term perception-driven obstacle-aided locomotion (POAL) was proposed to describe locomotion in which a snake robot leverages a sensory-perceptual system to exploit the surrounding operational environment and to identify walls, obstacles, or other ...

Bi-directional series-parallel elastic actuator and overlap of the actuation layers [PDF]

open access: yesBioinspiration & Biomimetics, 2016
Several robotics applications require high torque-to-weight ratio and energy efficient actuators. Progress in that direction was made by introducing compliant elements into the actuation. A large variety of actuators were developed such as series elastic actuators (SEAs), variable stiffness actuators and parallel elastic actuators (PEAs).
