Ankle joints play key roles in everyday locomotion, such as walking, stair climbing, and sit-to-stand. Despite the achievement in designing powered prosthetic ankles, engineers still face challenges to duplicate the full mechanics of ankle joints, including high torque, large range of motion (ROM), low profile, backdrivability, and efficiency, using electric motors and related transmissions. In th...
