Design and Analysis of a Clutched Parallel Elastic Actuator

Design and Analysis of a Clutched Parallel Elastic Actuator

Various actuator topologies are discussed for the purpose of powering periodic processes and particularly walking robots. The Clutched Parallel Elastic Actuator (CPEA) is proposed to reduce the energy consumption of active exoskeletons. A nonlinear model of the CPEA is presented in addition to the m...
