Macro-Mini Linear Actuator Using Electrorheological-Fluid Brake for Impedance Modulation in Physical Human-Robot Interaction

RA-L 2022

Robots designed to interact physically with humans are typically characterized by low impedance and low output force, but in many circumstances, high force is needed. Integrated to a high-torque velocity source, antagonistic designs of electrorheological (ER)-fluid or magnetorheological (MR)-fluid c

Design and Modeling of a Variable-Stiffness Spring Mechanism for Impedance Modulation in Physical Human–Robot Interaction

ICRA 2021poster

Our goal is to investigate different approaches to modulate stiffness and apply them to human-robot interaction. Here we report on our effort employing the concept of adjustable unsupported-length cantilever leaf spring, which has been previously applied to different designs of variable stiffness ac…
