Abstract: To overcome the constraint of conventional tilted beam-based bistable mechanism, this paper proposes a novel type of bistable structure based on tilted-angle compound parallelogram flexure to achieve a larger stroke of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design, fabrication, and testing of a novel single stack-based piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) for harvesting energy from three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) force excitation. One uniqueness lies ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a robotic ankle exoskeleton for human walking assistance. First, the biomechanical properties of a human ankle joint during walking are presented. Next, design of the robotic ankle ...
