Coupling between the Output Force and Stiffness in Different Variable Stiffness Actuators
Actuators, 2014 The fundamental objective in developing variable stiffness actuators is to enable the actuator to deliberately tune its stiffness. This is done through controlling the energy flow extracted from internal power units, i.e., the motors of a variable ...

A variable stiffness mechanism for steerable percutaneous instruments: integration in a needle
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2018 Needles are advanced tools commonly used in minimally invasive medical procedures. The accurate manoeuvrability of flexible needles through soft tissues is strongly determined by variations in tissue stiffness, which affects the needle-tissue interaction and thus causes needle deflection.
