Abstract

The degree of autonomy of a battery-powered mobile device depends, among others, on the efficient use of energy by the powered devices. Using an example of electric drive systems of an orthotic robot, the authors present a method of reducing the energy demand of these systems by using a gear with a controlled ratio. The gear ratios are selected on the basis of special graphs illustrating the instantaneous energy consumption during drive operations. The simulation studies proved a possibility of achieving energy savings during the implementation of the robotic functions of the robot as high as 50%. The article presents the course and results of the research as well as the concept of their use while designing electric drive systems for mobile devices.
