Design and First Operation of an Active Lower Limb Exoskeleton with Parallel Elastic Actuation

The lower limb exoskeleton investigated in this work actively supports the knee and hip and is intended to provide full motion support during gait. Parallel elastic actuators are integrated into the hip joints to improve the energy efficiency in gait. The prototype was tested in sit-to-stand and gai...
