Joint variable stiffness of musculoskeletal leg mechanism for quadruped robot
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2017 When the quadruped robot is in locomotion such as jumping and running with higher speed, there is non-continuous contact force between the foot and the environment inevitably. In order to achieve the flexible force interaction of the bionic legs with the
