ABSTRACT

Disclosed herein is a knee joint assembly including a first link member having
a first end mechanically coupled to an upper leg of a robot and configured to
rotate around a first pivot relative to the upper leg, and a second link
member having a first end mechanically coupled to a lower leg of the robot.
The lower leg can be mechanically coupled to the upper leg and configured to
rotate around a second pivot relative to the upper leg. A linear actuator
device can be mechanically coupled to a second end of the first link member
and a second end of the second link member, and when actuated can cause the
first link member to rotate around the first pivot relative to the upper leg
of the robot and cause the leg to rotate around the second pivot relative to
the upper leg.
