In this paper, an ongoing work for verifying the behavior of a twisted string actuator in contact with a sliding surface or guided through a sheath is presented. The twisted string actuation system is particularly suitable for very compact and light-weight robotic devices, like artificial limbs and…
In this paper, an ongoing work for the implementation of a variable stiffness joint actuated by a couple of twisted string actuators in antagonistic configuration is reported. The twisted string actuation system is particularly suitable for very compact and light-weight robotic devices, like artific…
