A Two-Degree of Freedom Variable Stiffness Actuator Based on the MACCEPA Concept

The current state-of-the-art of variable stiffness actuators consists mostly of different concepts for single-degree of freedom joints. However, in bio-inspired robotic applications, multiple degrees of freedom variable stiffness actuators are often desired. Currently, this is usually achieved by ca...
