Electro-Adhesive Tubular Clutch for Variable-Stiffness Robots

Electro-adhesive clutches have become effective tools for variable stiffness functions in many robotic systems due to their light weight, high speed and strong brake force. In this paper, we present a novel, tubular design of an electro-adhesive clutch. Our clutch consists of flexible electrode shee…
