Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing …

This article describes the design and control of a powered knee and ankle prosthesis for
transfemoral amputees. Following a description of the design hardware, a hybrid control …

Powered intelligent lower limb prosthesis can actuate the knee and ankle joints, allowing
transfemoral amputees to perform seamless transitions between locomotion states with the …

We present a lightweight robotic knee prosthesis with a novel hybrid actuation system that
enables passive and active operation modes. The proposed hybrid knee uses a spring …

Locking devices are widely used in robotics, for instance to lock springs and joints or to
reconfigure robots. This review article classifies the locking devices currently described in …

Approximately 1.1. billion people worldwide live with some form of disability, and assistive
technology has the potential to increase their overall quality of life. However, the end users' …
