Abstract:
A clutched joint module of a robotic system comprising an output member operable to couple to a first support member; an input member operable to couple to a second support member; a primary actuator operable to apply a primary torque to the output member to rotate the first and second support members relative to one another about an axis of rotation of the clutched joint module; a quasi-passive elastic actuator coupled to the input member and operable to apply an augmented torque to the output member that combines with the primary torque to rotate the output member about the axis of rotation; and a clutch mechanism operably coupled to the primary actuator and the quasi-passive elastic actuator operable in an engaged state or a disengaged state to actuate and deactivate the quasi-passive elastic actuator and to facilitate application or removal of the augmented torque.
