Limit cycles and stiffness control with variable stiffness actuators

open access: yes2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2012
Variable stiffness actuators realize highly dynamic systems, whose inherent mechanical compliance can be properly exploited to obtain a robust and energy-efficient behavior. The paper presents a control strategy for variable stiffness actuators with the primarily goal of tracking a limit cycle trajectory and a desired stiffness, which is a function of ...

Design of a Variable Stiffness Actuator Based on Flexures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mechanisms and Robotics, 2011
Variable stiffness actuators can be used in order to achieve a suitable trade-off between performance and safety in robotic devices for physical human–robot interaction. With the aim of improving the compactness and the flexibility of existing mechanical solutions, a variable stiffness actuator based on the use of flexures is investigated. The proposed

Variable stiffness actuator

open access: yes, 2010
It is provided a variable stiffness actuator (1) adapted to move a movable component (102) and comprising: two electric motors (4) of the rotary type, at least one output shaft (3) adapted to be set in rotation by said two electric motors (4) around a rotation axis (3a); an elastic transmission system adapted to enable motion transfer from said motors (

A variable-stiffness and healable pneumatic actuator

Materials Horizons, 2023
A pneumatic actuator based on variable-stiffness and self-healing polymers shows high load capacity at room temperature but can be actuated pneumatically upon heating. And it can be thermally healed after damaging, thus can prolong its service time.
