Comparison and Analysis of a Robotic Tendon and Jackspring™ Actuator for Wearable Robotic Systems

Spring-based actuators are important in the design of wearable robotic systems. These actuators can store and release energy, and reduce the peak power requirements. Reducing these requirements allows the system to function with smaller and lighter-weight motors. Three actuators are compared: a lead...
