Abstract

We present the design of a one-degree-of-freedom ankle actuation platform for human-robot interaction. The platform is actuated with a DC motor through a capstan drive mechanism. The results for platform dynamics identification including friction characterisation are presented. Control experiments demonstrate that a linear regulator with gravity compensation can be used to control the inclination of the platform efficiently.
