Analysis of Rigid-Flexible Coupling Characteristics of Pneumatic Modular Soft Joints with Variable Stiffness

Analysis of Rigid-Flexible Coupling Characteristics of Pneumatic Modular Soft Joints with Variable Stiffness

This paper proposes a new pneumatic modular joint to address the problem of balancing compliance and load-bearing capacity for soft robots. The joint possesses characteristics that allow for omnidirectional deformation and dynamically adjustable stiffness. In this study, mathematical models were est...
