	abstract = {The actuation systems of lower limbs exoskeletons have been extensively investigated and, presently, a great effort is aimed at reducing the weight and improving the efficiency, thus increasing the operating range for battery-operated devices. In this work, an innovative and more efficient actuation system to power the knee joint is proposed. The key and nonconventional elements of this alternative design are a flywheel and a micro infinitely variable transmission (IVT). This particular powertrain configuration permits to exploit efficiently the dynamics of human locomotion, which offers the possibility to recover energy. By means of simulations of level ground walking and running, it is here demonstrated how storing energy in the flywheel permits to reduce the energy consumption and to downsize the electric motor.},

	abstract = {The efficiency of the actuation system of exoskeletons
and active orthoses for lower limbs is a significant aspect of the
design of such devices because it affects their efficacy. The F-IVT is
an innovative actuation system to power artificial knee joint with
energy recovery capabilities. Its key and non-conventional elements
are a flywheel that acts as a mechanical energy storage system, and
an Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT). The design of the F-IVT
can be optimized for a certain walking condition, resulting in a heavy
reduction of both the electric energy consumption and of the electric
peak power. In this work, by means of simulations of level ground
walking at different speeds, it is demonstrated that the F-IVT is still
an advantageous actuator which permits to save energy consumption
and to downsize the electric motor even when it does not work in
nominal conditions.},

	volume = {2013},
	abstract = {We analyse in terms of efficiency and traction capabilities a recently patented traction drive, referred to as the double roller fulltoroidal. variator (DFTV). We compare its performance with the single roller full-toroidal variator (SFTV) and the single roller. half-toroidal variator (SHTV). Modeling of these variators involves challenging tribological issues; the traction and efficiency. performances depend on tribological phenomena occurring at the interface between rollers and disks, where the lubricant. undergoes very severe elastohydrodynamic lubrication regimes. Interestingly, the DFTV shows an improvement of the mechanical. efficiency over a wide range of transmission ratios and in particular at the unit speed ratio as in such conditions in which the DFTV. allows for zero-spin, thus strongly enhancing its traction capabilities.The very highmechanical efficiency and traction performances. of the DFTV are exploited to investigate the performance of a flywheel-based Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS), where. the efficiency of the variator plays an important role in determining the overall energy recovery performance. The energy boost. capabilities and the round-trip efficiency are calculated for the three different variators considered in this study.The results suggest. that the energy recovery potential of the mechanical KERS can be improved with a proper choice of the variator.},
