A Pneumatic Particle-Blocking Variable-Stiffness Actuator

In order to improve the stiffness of flexible robots, this paper proposes a variable-stiffness elastic actuator. The actuator integrates the working principles of a pneumatic drive, wedge structure, and particle blockage. The anti-tensile stiffness of the actuator is nonlinearly negatively correlate...
