Mobile compressed gas supply for active orthoses and exo-skeletons
In this study a basic principle for the gas supply of a pneumatic actuation for a mobile active knee joint orthosis is described. Instead of using a compressor or a bulky pressure reservoir, the system is supplied with pressurized gas directly from a thermodynamic process to reduce size and weight o...
