A Compact and Lightweight Cable-Driven Actuator Using a Timing Belt System
Developed a compact and lightweight actuator by replacing the conventional planetary gears used in wearable robots with a timing belt system. Positioned the encoder inside the tensioner pulley to enable control of the BLDC motor operation. Considered the thickness of the power transmission shaft and the tension of the belt in the mechanical design, while maintaining minimal volume through curved design for improved ergonomic wearability.
