Analysis, Design, and Preliminary Evaluation of a Parallel Elastic Actuator for Power-Efficient Walking Assistance

This paper introduces the analysis, design and preliminary evaluation of a self-integrated parallel elastic actuator (PEA) with an electric motor and a flat spiral spring in parallel to drive the hip joint of lower limb exoskeletons for power-efficient walking assistance. Firstly, we quantitatively...
