This paper presents experimental test results for joints used in a biomimetic bipedal robot. In this work, MRI and CT scans are utilized to inform the design of joints of similar size and function to the biological counterparts. Three lower body joints, to be actuated by artificial muscles were designed and constructed. Then the range of motion and...

... the selections were converted in the software into a 3D model ( Fig. 2(d)). Each layer is made 3D by extruding the image to the thickness of the MRI or CT scan slice thickness, in this case 1 mm. Next, the model was smoothed. Figure 3 shows an overview of how the model is finished. The model was exported from 3D Slicer and into MESH MIXER (Fig. 3(e)) [14]. This software smooths the scans by determining and maintaining tangent continuity (Fig. 3(f )). Tangent continuity occurs when two curves share a common endpoint and are tangent to one another at that point. A high-fidelity model that limits deformation from this process is created by maintaining tangent continuity ...

The issue of providing healthy movement for patients with lower limb amputations requires using of a well-designed lower limb prosthesis. The purpose of this work is to boost the passive prosthesis to a microcontroller-based prosthesis to provide a rotational speed that suits the function for which it is used, the boost focuses on providing a knee...
