Artificial Knee Joints Actuators with Energy Recovery Capabilities: A Comparison of Performance

The human knee absorbs more energy than it expends in level ground walking. For this reason it would be useful if the actuation system of a wearable robot for lower limbs was able to recover energy thus improving portability. Presently, we recognize three promising technologies with energy recovery...
