Design of a Variable Stiffness Joint Module to Quickly Change the Stiffness and to Reduce the Power Consumption

Variable stiffness actuators (VSA) are finding wide applications in robotics to enhance safety during interactions with stiff environments. Researchers have proposed various design architectures like antagonistic actuation, which requires both the motors to be powered simultaneously for varying the...
