Design, Dynamics Analysis, and Real-Time Stiffness Control of a Variable Stiffness Joint

This paper proposes a variable stiffness joint based on a symmetrical crank slider mechanism (SCM-VSJ). Firstly, the mechanical design and the working principle of the variable stiffness joint is described, and its stiffness regulation characteristics are studied. Secondly, the dynamical model of va...
