We aim to develop an intelligent prosthetic foot that has the braking system of ankle joint. Magnetorheological (MR) fluids is material that changes their rheological behavior by an applied magnetic field. A brake using MR fluid can change the braking force according to the strength of applied magnetic field. In this paper, we develop the linear brake using MR fluid for the intelligent prosthetic foot, and carry out the virtual walking experiment by the use of that brake.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
