Trajectory optimization for walking robots with series elastic actuators [PDF]
Series elastic actuators are a promising feature for future walking robots. Utilizing the natural oscillation of the elastic actuation can lead to efficient locomotion. However finding a matching combination of joint stiffness and actuator input is challenging as these robots share the properties of underactuated and hybrid dynamic systems.

Design and control of an MRI compatible series elastic actuator [PDF]
Bidirectional compatibility requirements with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have limited the adaptation of rehabilitation robots for use in MRI machines. In this paper, we present the design and control of a Bowden cable-actuated, MRI-compatible series elastic actuator (SEA) that aims to fulfil the bidirectional compatibility requirements to the ...
