摘要：
A power generating leg, configurable to be coupled to a person's lower limb, comprisinga thigh link, a shank link, a knee mechanism, a torque generator, and a power unit.The knee mechanism is connected to said thigh link and said shank link, and configuredto allow flexion and extension movements of said thigh link and said shank linkrelative to each other. The torque generator is configured to generate torquebetween said shank link and said thigh link. The power unit is coupled to said torquegenerator, and configured to cause said torque generator to generate torque.When said power unit is in a power regeneration mode, said power unit causes saidtorque generator to generate a torque that opposes the angular velocity of saidthigh link and said shank link relative to each other and said power unit convertsa portion of the power associated with the product of said torque and said angularvelocity of said shank link and thigh link relative to each other into electricalpower to be stored in a storage device.
