Abstract (Spanish)
Esta investigación explora la viabilidad de incorporar un elemento elástico en un actuador inteligente para mejorar los dispositivos de asistencia a la movilidad, en particular los andadores inteligentes. Mediante la integración de motores de cubo con motor síncrono de imán permanente (PMSM) y actuadores elásticos, el estudio tiene como objetivo mejorar la seguridad, la adaptabilidad y la interacción del usuario. Un enfoque híbrido que combina pruebas experimentales y simulaciones valida el rendimiento del actuador. Los resultados demuestran su potencial para mejorar la capacidad de respuesta y el control, lo que contribuye a tecnologías de asistencia más seguras y eficientes.

This research explores the feasibility of incorporating an elastic element into a smart actuator to enhance mobility assistive devices, particularly smart walkers. By integrating Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) hub motors and elastic actuators, the study aims to improve safety, adaptability, and user interaction. A hybrid approach combining experimental testing and simulations validates the actuator's performance. The results demonstrate its potential to enhance responsiveness and control, contributing to safer and more efficient assistive technologies.
