Design of a Passive Gait-based Ankle-foot Exoskeleton with Self-adaptive Capability

Abstract Propulsion during push-off is the key to realizing human locomotion. Humans have evolved a way of walking with high energy utilization, but it can be further improved. Drawing inspiration from the muscle-tendon unit, a passive spring-actuated ankle-foot exoskeleton is designed to assist wit...
