Currently, designing robotic devices to assist and rehabilitate the ankle is challenging due to the joint's complexity and its fundamental role in walking. This research field has been motivated by the disability's high incidence of neurological disorders and their effects in Activities of Daily Living's (ADL) execution that reduces people's life quality. This way, powered ankle-foot orthoses (PAFOs) or ankle exoskeletons are being developed to counteract the gait limitation and to improve motor recovery. In this context, this master's dissertation presents the design, development, and implementation of a novel wearable and portable ankle exoskeleton, called T-FLEX, based on Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSAs). Thus, different high-level co...
