Abstract
[en] Experimental testing and simulation of actuators for a gait-assistive active orthosis. The use of an series elastic actuator enables to improve the safety and the comfort of the user compared to the direct actuator. The addition of a clutch allows to reduce the global energy consumption of the system.
