Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling piezoelectric stack actuators for control of micromanipulation
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear lumped-parameter model of a piezoelectric stack actuator was developed to describe actuator behavior for purposes of control system analysis and design, and in particular for microrobotic applications requiring accurate position and/or force control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Control of a Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis
TL;DR: Experimental results are shown that demonstrate the promise of the active prosthesis and control approach in restoring fully powered level walking to the user.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiclass Real-Time Intent Recognition of a Powered Lower Limb Prosthesis
TL;DR: The implementation of the generalized control approach on a single unilateral transfemoral amputee subject is described and the effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated via experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary Evaluation of a Powered Lower Limb Orthosis to Aid Walking in Paraplegic Individuals
TL;DR: A powered lower-limb orthosis that is intended to provide gait assistance to spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals by providing assistive torques at both hip and knee joints is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary Evaluations of a Self-Contained Anthropomorphic Transfemoral Prosthesis
TL;DR: Knee and ankle joint angle, torque, and power data taken during walking experiments at various speeds demonstrate the ability of the prosthesis to provide a functional gait that is representative of normal gait biomechanics.
