Abstract: Variable stiffness actuators (VSAs) can improve the robot's performance during interactions with human and uncertain environments. Based on the modified gear–rack mechanism, a VSA with a third-power stiffness profile is ...

Abstract: Accurate and robust force control is still a great challenge for robot–environment contact applications, such as in situ repair, polishing, and assembly. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a force control joint ...
