Variable stiffness actuators (VSAs) represent a transformative advancement in robotics and mechatronics by integrating the ability to adjust joint compliance in real time. This technology enables ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. The variable stiffness joint is a kind of flexible actuator with variable stiffness characteristics suitable for physical human–robot ...

Inexpensive robots of all forms are on the rise. Meka uses compliant actuators called series elastic actuators (SEAs) in nearly all joints of its robotic systems. A spring between motor and load ...

There is extensive research on how a fixed-position flap affects lift in the realm of fluid-structure interaction. So, researchers conducted a bio-inspired study with a novel twist -- variable ...

When robots work in unstructured environments, the physical impact of bumps and collisions can be inevitable. The impact can damage the robots’ hardware systems. This is often the case for rigid multi ...

There is extensive research on how a fixed-position flap affects lift in the realm of fluid-structure interaction. However, taking the conversation in a new direction, researchers at the University of ...
