Kinetic Walking Energy Harvester Design for a Wearable Bowden Cable-Actuated Exoskeleton Robot

Micromachines (2022)

Yunde Shi Mingqiu Guo Heran Zhong Xiaoqiang Ji Dan Xia

Over the past few decades, wearable exoskeletons of various forms have been developed to assist human activities or for rehabilitation of movement disorders. However, sustainable exoskeletons with efficient energy harvesting devices still have not been fully explored. In this paper, we propose the design of a lightweight wearable Bowden-cable-actuated soft exoskeleton robot with energy harvesting capability. Unlike previous wearable exoskeletons, the presented exoskeleton uses an electromagnetic generator to both harvest biomechanical energy and to output mechanical torque by controlling an operation mode relay switch based on a human's gait. Moreover, the energy-harvesting module also acts as a knee impact absorber for the human, where the effective damping level can be modulated in a controlled manner. The harvested energy is regulated and stored in super capacitors for powering wireless sensory devices when needed. The experimental results show an average of a 7.91% reduction in thigh muscle activity, with a maximum of 3.2 W of electric power being generated during movement downstairs. The proposed design offers important prospects for the realization of lightweight wearable exoskeletons with improved efficiency and long-term sustainability.
