Hybrid terrain-adaptive lower-extremity apparatus and methods that perform in a variety of different situations by detecting the terrain that is being traversed, and adapting to the detected terrain. In some embodiments, the ability to control the apparatus for each of these situations builds upon five basic capabilities: (1) determining the activity being performed; (2) dynamically controlling the characteristics of the apparatus based on the activity that is being performed; (3) dynamically driving the apparatus based on the activity that is being performed; (4) determining terrain texture irregularities (e.g., how sticky is the terrain, how slippery is the terrain, is the terrain coarse or smooth, does the terrain have any obstructions, such as rocks) and (5) a mechanical design of the apparatus that can respond to the dynamic control and dynamic drive.

La présente invention concerne un appareil hybride à extrémités inférieures sadaptant au terrain et des procédés qui fonctionnent dans une variété de situations différentes grâce à la détection du terrain parcouru, sadaptant au terrain détecté. Selon certains modes de réalisation, la capacité de contrôler lappareil pour chacune de ces situations repose sur cinq capacités de base : (1) la détermination de lactivité en cours de réalisation; (2) le contrôle dynamique des caractéristiques de lappareil en fonction de lactivité en cours de réalisation; (3) la commande dynamique de lappareil en fonction de lactivité en cours de réalisation; (4) la détermination des irrégularités de texture de terrain (par exemple, la nature collante du terrain, la nature glissante du terrain, le caractère rugueux ou lisse du terrain, la présence dobstructions sur le terrain, telles que des roches); et (5) une conception mécanique de lappareil qui peut réagir au contrôle dynamique et à la commande dynamique.
