Unidirectional variable stiffness hydraulic actuator for load-carrying knee exoskeleton

This article presents the design and experimental testing of a unidirectional variable stiffness hydraulic actuator for load-carrying knee exoskeleton. The proposed actuator is designed for mimicking the high-efficiency passive behavior of biological knee and providing actively assistance in locomot...
