Variable Stiffness and Damping Robotic Actuator

Source: arxiv.org · May 30, 2026

Summary

This paper presents a novel actuator design using three parallel motors to independently control stiffness and damping, enabling safe and efficient human-robot collaboration in dynamic tasks. It addresses a key limitation of traditional rigid actuators by providing physical compliance adjustability.
