On the Stiffness Selection for Torque-Controlled Series-Elastic Actuators

IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2017
Series-elastic actuators are quickly becoming the core component of robots operating in real-world environments, allowing for robust, safe, torque-controlled robots. This letter investigates the influence of the selected stiffness and control parameters.

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.

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.

Improvements to Series Elastic Actuators

2006 2nd IEEE/ASME International Conference on Mechatronics and Embedded Systems and Applications, 2006
Actuators must be safe when interacting with humans, even in unexpected situations. Safety requires low impedance (low forces for a given perturbation) at all frequencies, not only in the actuator's stable bandwidth. Series Elastic Actuators (SEAs) are capable of achieving low impedance across all frequencies, though their force-frequency saturation ...

Series elastic actuator control of a powered exoskeleton

2011 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2011
A motorized upper extremity orthosis based on the passive WREX system is being developed. The orthosis is a 4 dof arm controlled by user residual force inputs. The arm is intended for people with neuromuscular weakness due to muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy.

Saturated nonlinear control of robots with series elastic actuators

2021 IEEE International Conference on Real-time Computing and Robotics (RCAR), 2021
In this paper, two saturated nonlinear control strategies are proposed for regulation of SEA-driven robots based on singular perturbation (SP) and Energy Shaping (ES). The SP-based saturated controller is designed with two saturated control terms for cascaded two subsystems, and the ES-based saturated controller is proposed by a saturated PD control ...

Online calibration of a compact series elastic actuator

2014 American Control Conference, 2014
We present a method for the online calibration of a compact series elastic actuator installed in a modular snake robot. Calibration is achieved by using the measured motor current of the actuator's highly geared motor and a simple linear model for the spring's estimated torque.

Human-adaptive control of series elastic actuators

Robotica, 2014
SUMMARYForce-controlled series elastic actuators (SEAs) are the widely used components of novel physical human–robot interaction 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.
