This paper presents electro-hydrostatic actuation as a valid substitute of electro-mechanical devices for powered knee prostheses. The work covers the design of a test rig exploiting linear electro-hydrostatic actuation. Typical control laws for prosthesis actuators are discussed, implemented and validated experimentally. Particularly, this work focuses on position and admittance control syntheses...
