Offering the ability to combine human intelligence and control with the strength and durability of a robot, they can be used for gait rehabilitation or locomotion assistance, offering many applications in industry, medicine, and more.1<\/p>\n\n<p>However, developing practical and economically viable exoskeleton robots has proven to be an extreme technical challenge. Despite being actively researched since the 1990s, only now \u2013 with the aid of modern technology \u2013 are the first practical applications of robotic exoskeletons starting to emerge.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of all the components that go into an exoskeleton robot, servo drives are perhaps the most significant: If motors are the muscles of a powered exoskeleton, then servo drives are the brain. As such, the servo drive is the electronic component responsible for an application&#8217;s motion. A servo drive is fed a command signal for position, velocity, or current by means of a feedback loop. It then adjusts the voltage, and current applied to the servomotor accordingly. The precision, power, and efficiency of a robotics system are highly dependable on this subcircuit.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Reliability and Accuracy<\/h2>\n\n<p>Exoskeleton robots are one of the most demanding servo-drive applications imaginable. Powered exoskeletons must respond to many often-subtle physiological cues from their wearers\/operators, and servo drives are responsible for interpreting and modulating these signals in response to data from multiple position sensors. On top of this, accurate and reliable performance is of the highest importance: since the operator <i>wears<\/i> the machine, any servomechanism malfunction could be extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n\n<p>For this reason, the servo drives integrated into exoskeleton robots must be extremely fast, robust, and precise while complying with the highest safety standards. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/novanta.com\/robotics-automation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/servo-drives-for-exoskeletons.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanta.com\/robotics-automation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/servo-drives-for-exoskeletons.jpg?quality=85&amp;strip=all 800w, https:\/\/novanta.com\/robotics-automation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/servo-drives-for-exoskeletons.jpg?resize=320%2C211&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all 320w, https:\/\/novanta.com\/robotics-automation\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/12\/servo-drives-for-exoskeletons.jpg?resize=400%2C264&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Low Power Consumption<\/h2>\n\n<p>The primary function of exoskeleton robots \u2013 whether in light industrial or medical applications \u2013 is to improve the wearer&#8217;s mobility. Most applications (except for a few specific industrial uses) must rely on portable power sources.<\/p>\n\n<p>Exoskeleton robots need to be mobile and operate for as long as possible. This means that power efficiency is a top priority \u2013 which applies as much to servo drives as it does to motors. Using a servo drive with low standby power consumption and high efficiency during use is essential to prolong an exoskeleton&#8217;s autonomy and maximize its performance.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Minimal Heat Generation<\/h2>\n\n<p>Exoskeleton robots are highly dynamic systems that are, ideally, able to operate for long periods. This means that heat generation can be a problem.<\/p>\n\n<p> An exoskeleton\u2019s electronics will inevitably heat up, meaning the device itself will tend to increase its temperatures. Being wearable devices, any exoskeleton\u2019s temperature should be, by design, kept as low as possible. That is both to reduce energy consumption, but most importantly, for the user\u2019s comfort and safety. <\/p>\n\n<p>Any component in such an application should be chosen with that in mind. Using an efficient servo drive which keeps cool during heavy operation is vital: it\u2019s one thing for the servo drive on a production-line robot to become hot over extended use, and quite another for the same to occur in the elbow joint of a biomedical exoskeleton.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Small Form-Factor<\/h2>\n\n<p>In most applications, exoskeleton robots are designed to operate in human environments. This means they need to be able to fit through doorways, navigate warehouses and operate in crowded spaces.<\/p>\n\n<p>Reducing bulkiness is a significant challenge in developing powered exoskeletons \u2013 fitting the requisite motors, servo drives, and sensors within a compact package is no mean feat. However, recent developments in motion control technology \u2013 including compact servo drives \u2013 mean that this is much more viable than before. In a system where the size of every component is critical, choosing servo drives which are compact and easily integrated into joints is critical.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Cost and Time<\/h2>\n\n<p>Cost is one of the critical limiting factors in the practical application of exoskeleton robots. While this is especially true in healthcare applications such as exoskeleton-based rehabilitation systems; it is nonetheless a significant factor for more well-funded industrial and satcom applications too.2,3<\/p>\n\n<p>Choosing the right servo drive for the job \u2013 even if this means using a custom-developed servo drive \u2013 is the only way to ensure long-term reliability and, ultimately, low cost of ownership. Off-the-shelf servo drives may be inexpensive, but in a system as complex and specialized as a powered exoskeleton, this can often be a false economy. <\/p>\n\n<p>Celera Motion are world-leaders in developing servo drives, <a href=\"https:\/\/novanta.com\/robotics-automation\/term\/456\">direct drive motors<\/a>, and other motion control components for robotic systems.
