Soft Gripper using Variable Stiffness Mechanism and Its Application
International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing, 2018Soft robots have advantages such as low weight and compact size compared to rigid robots. Variable stiffness is one of the key methods of improving the performance of a soft robot. The soft gripper grasps objects of various shapes or sizes based on the variable stiffness. In a previous study, we validated the variable stiffness mechanism where flexible

A Novel Passive Shoulder Exoskeleton Designed With Variable Stiffness Mechanism
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2022With the population of the world getting older and the working period becoming more extended, exoskeletons can be helpful to prevent occupational injuries and provide assistance for physically exhausting works. In this letter, a novel compact passive exoskeleton able to assist the elderly and workers with overhead tasks is introduced.

Design, modeling and testing of a compact variable stiffness mechanism for exoskeletons
Mechanism and Machine Theory, 2020In this paper, the mechanical design of a novel variable stiffness mechanism (VSM) with reconfigurability is presented. The design of VSM is based on a zero-length base link four-bar linkage, integrated with a linear spring.
