Pneumatic Variable Series Elastic Actuator. [PDF]
Inspired by human motor control theory, stiffness control is highly effective in manipulation and human-interactive tasks. The implementation of stiffness control in robotic systems, however, has largely been limited to closed-loop control, and suffers from multiple issues such as limited frequency range, potential instability, and lack of contribution

Momentum control of humanoid robots with series elastic actuators [PDF]
Humanoid robots may require a degree of compliance at the joint level for improving efficiency, shock tolerance, and safe interaction with humans. The presence of joint elasticity, however, complexifies the design of balancing and walking controllers. This paper proposes a control framework for extending momentum based controllers developed for stiff ...

The integration of a passive elastic element in series between a motor and its load is popular in many human–robot interaction scenarios. By virtually imposing elastic behavior on the motor, an impedance control can act as a second stiffness to such an ...

Continuously-variable series-elastic actuator [PDF]
Actuator efficiency is an important factor in the design of powered leg prostheses, orthoses, exoskeletons, and legged robots. A continuously-variable series-elastic actuator (CV-SEA) is presented as an efficient actuator for legged locomotion. The CV-SEA implements a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) between a motor and series elastic element ...

Design and Control of a Nonlinear Series Elastic Cable Actuator Based on the Hill Muscle Model
The bionic design of muscles is a research hotspot at present. Many researchers have designed bionic elastic actuators based on the Hill muscle model, and most of them include an active contraction element, passive contraction element and series elastic ...

Series elastic actuators [PDF]
It is traditional to make the interface between an actuator and its load as stiff as possible. Despite this tradition, reducing interface stiffness offers a number of advantages, including greater shock tolerance, lower reflected inertia, more accurate and stable force control, less inadvertent damage to the environment, and the capacity for energy ...
