Lower-limb biomechatronic devices (ie, prostheses and exoskeletons) depend upon
onboard batteries to power wearable sensors, actuators, and microprocessors, therein …

Robotic leg prostheses and exoskeletons have traditionally been designed using highly-
geared motor-transmission systems that minimally exploit the passive dynamics of human …

Improvements in turbine design methods have resulted in the development of blade profiles
with both high lift and good Reynolds lapse characteristics. An increase in aerodynamic …

In this paper, we investigate energy-optimal control of robots with ultracapacitor-based
regenerative drive systems. Based on a previously introduced framework, a fairly generic …

Objective: We design an optimal passivity-based tracking/impedance control system for a
robotic manipulator with energy regenerative electronics, where the manipulator has both …

We present the design, control, and experimental evaluation of an energy regenerative
powered transfemoral prosthesis. Our prosthesis prototype is comprised of a passive ankle …

The paper considers a generic model for a turbofan engine coupled to electromechanical
(EM) elements used for energy conversion and storage in electric form. The …

Individuals with an above-knee (AK) amputation typically use passive prostheses, whether
reactive (microprocessor) or purely mechanical. Though sufficient for walking, these …

Parametric optimization problems are considered for serial robots with regenerative drive
mechanisms. A subset of the robot joints are conventional, in the sense that external power …

This paper concerns with global fixed-time trajectory tracking of robot manipulators. A simple
nonlinear inverse dynamics control (IDC) is proposed by using bi-limit homogeneity …
