A pressing challenge in the design of actuated knee prostheses is the ability to address the high variation of speed and torque requirements for the different types and phases of locomotion. This manuscript presents a novel over-actuated knee prosthesis which makes use of a dual motor actuation architecture to address this issue. It utilizes a high speed/low torque motor to enable natural and high...
