A New Pneumatic Actuator Design: For Compliant and Lightweight Lower Limb Exoskeletons

Lower limb exoskeletons enable paraplegic patients to stand-up and walk again. However, the weight and overall functional performance of the exoskeleton prevents them from being widely used. To reduce the weight and increase<br/>the performance, pneumatic actuators can be used as an alternative to the commonly used electromechanical actuators....
