A Variable Clutch Mechanism for Adjustable Stiffness Actuators Based on Bending and Torsion of Prismatic Beams

Today, a major obstacle to developing locomotion mechanisms that are as safe and energy efficient as living organisms has been overcome with the development of actuators with adjustable stiffness. This work presents an innovative clutch mechanism whose stiffness can be adjusted based on the combined...
