HydroBone and Variable Stiffness Exoskeleton with Knee Actuation
The HydroBone is a variable stiffness load-bearing element, which utilizes jamming of granular media to achieve stiffness modulation, controlled by the application of positive pressure. Several compressive tests were conducted on the HydroBone in order to quantify the load-bearing capability of the...
