Design and Experiment Evaluation of Load Distribution on the Dual Motors in Cam-Based Variable Stiffness Actuator with Helping Mode

This paper presents a novel cam-based variable stiffness actuator (VSA). It significantly differs from its counterparts in that the external load distributes on its two motors with a small difference. It is a feasible method to improve VSA’s output power, especially in compact joints, such as rehabi...
