Quasi-passive exoskeletons use a passive support mechanism that can be actively locked or unlocked using a clutch ... Because of this actuation mechanism, quasi-passive exoskeletons combine advantages of both passive and active exoskeletons. Like passive exoskeletons, they are lightweight and robust due to the limited size and complexity of the actuators. Like active exoskeletons, they provide more flexibility when supporting a user because the clutch mechanism can be locked or unlocked.

Key term(s)
  • quasi passive exoskeleton
  • pseudo passive exoskeleton
  • semi active exoskeleton

OBS

exosquelette quasi-passif : Malgré un usage contraire suffisamment répandu pour qu'il vaille la peine de le souligner, le trait d'union doit disparaître devant l'adjectif ou l'adverbe modifié [...], puisque, en toute logique, «quasi» forme avec lui un terme dont les deux éléments constituent deux unités de sens.
