A Variable Stiffness PZT Actuator Having Tunable Resonant Frequencies

A Variable Stiffness PZT Actuator Having Tunable Resonant Frequencies

A new approach to a variable stiffness actuator with tunable resonant frequencies is presented in this paper. Variable stiffness actuators have become increasingly important to meet safety requirements and achieve adaptive manipulation or locomotion. For cyclic motion, exploiting dynamic resonance c...
