| Abstract | Weight and power autonomy are limiting the daily use of wearable exoskeleton. Lightweight, efficient and powerful actuation system are not easy to achieve. Choosing the right combinations of existing technologies, such as battery, gear and motor is not a trivial task. In this paper, we propose an optimization framework by setting up a power-based quasi-static model of the exoskeleton joint drivetrain. The goal is to find the most efficient and lightweight combinations. This framework can be generalized for other similar applications by extending or accommodating the model to their own needs. We also present the Mindwalker exoskeleton joint, for which a novel series elastic actuator, consisting of a ballscrew-driven linear actuator and a double spiral spring, was developed and tested. This linear actuator is capable of outputting 960W power and the exoskeleton joint can output 100Nm peak torque continuously. The double spiral spring can sense torque between 0.08Nm and 100Nm and it exhibits linearity of 99.99%, with no backlash or hysteresis. The series elastic joint can track a chirp torque profile with amplitude of 100Nm over 6Hz (large torque bandwidth) and for small torque (2Nm peak-to-peak), it has a bandwidth over 38Hz. The integrated exoskeleton joint, including the ballscrew-driven linear actuator, the series spring, electronics and the metal housing which hosts these components, weighs 2.9kg. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
