OpenSEA: a 3D printed planetary gear series elastic actuator for a compliant elbow joint exoskeleton
The study demonstrates an openly available SEA design for 3D printed exoskeletons. This work provides an entry point for accessible exoskeleton design, specifically for rehabilitation. Future work will explore the role of segment vs joint rigidity in developing next-generation compliant exoskeletons, and improving accessibility for personalizable assistive exoskeletons. All designs presented herein are publicly available.
