Abstract

Energy regeneration is an important method to extend the operation duration of active robotic devices or reduce the battery weight. One efficient method is to generate energy by the motor in the joint based on electromagnetic induction principle. In this paper, we further discuss such energy regeneration method for damping torque controlled robotic transtibial prosthesis. For this method, a parameter called modulation coefficient is very important. We analyze the effects of modulation coefficient on energy regeneration by circuit principle and walking experiment. Circuit principle analysis demonstrates that the modulation coefficient P has a clear correlation with regenerative energy and energy regener-Ation efficiency. Experimental results give a specific relationship between modulation coefficient and energy regeneration. At a fixed walking speed, the regenerative energy per step is positively correlated with P from 0.4 to 0.8 and negative correlated with P from 0.8 to 1, in the range of OJ to 1.47 J. Energy regeneration efficiency per step is negative correlated with P from 0.4 to 1, in the range of 0% to 94.39%. The analysis may be useful for more efficient and effective energy regeneration in robotic devices in the future.
