A novel stiffness model for a wall-climbing hexapod robot based on nonlinear variable stiffness

In this article, the most contribution is to propose a novel general stiffness model to analyze the stiffness of a wall-climbing hexapod robot. First, we propose a new general stiffness model of serial mechanism, which includes the linear and nonlinear stiffness models. By comparison, the nonlinear...
