Compliant actuation of parallel-type variable stiffness actuator based on antagonistic actuation

Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology, 2010
For a service robot requiring physical human-robot interaction, stable contact motion and collision safety are very important. To accomplish these functions, we propose a novel design for a parallel-type variable stiffness actuator (PVSA). The stiffness and position of a joint can be controlled simultaneously using the PVSA based on an antagonistic ...

A position and stiffness control strategy for variable stiffness actuators

2012 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2012
Variable stiffness actuators (VSAs) have been introduced to improve, at the design level, the safety and the energy efficiency of the new generation of robots that have to interact closely with humans. A wide variety of design solutions have recently been proposed, and a common factor in most of the VSAs is the introduction of a flexible transmission ...
