Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of several three-degrees-of-freedom (DoFs) semispherical actuator topologies, which can mimic a shoulder joint of an actuated support system. A semianalytical model is applied to determine the torque performance as function of the position. Hence, the current distribution through the coils with minimized ohmic losses can be determined. The performed topology comparison is based on the average power dissipation and on a set of torque and range of motion requirements.
