Shock Absorption for Legged Locomotion through Magnetorheological Leg-Stiffness Control

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of a magnetorheological-fluid-based variable stiffness actuator leg under high impact forces through optimal tuning and control of stiffness and damping properties. To achieve this, drop testing experiments were conducted with the leg at va...
