    摘要: Disclosed is a lightweight powered ankle exoskeleton with integrated series-elastic actuation capable of providing high torque and power densities while maintaining a compact and lightweight profile. The exoskeleton includes: a frame configured to be worn adjacent a lower leg of a user; a power transmission assembly integrated with the frame and configured to deliver torque to a crank member to rotate the crank member about an ankle joint; and a foot/shoe interface coupled to the crank member and configured to interface with a foot or shoe of the user and to transmit torque generated at the ankle joint to the foot or shoe of the user.
