Bipedal locomotion using variable stiffness actuation
Robust and energy-efficient bipedal locomotion in robotics is still a challenging topic. In order to address issues in this field, we can take inspiration from nature, by studying human locomotion. The Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model has shown to be a good model for this purpose. However, the human musculoskeletal system enables us to actively modulate leg stiffness, for example wh...
متن کاملEnergy Efficient Actuation with Variable Stiffness Actuators
Research effort in the field of variable stiffness actuators is steadily increasing, due to their wide range of possible applications and their advantages. In literature, various control methods have been proposed, solving particular problems in human-robot and robot-environment interaction applications, in which the mechanical compliance introduced by variable stiffness actuators has been show...
متن کاملInteraction Force Control of Robots with Variable Stiffness Actuation
In this paper, the control of the force due to the interaction with the environment of a robotic manipulator with relevant and adjustable joint stiffness is addressed. It is assumed that the interaction force is not directly measurable and a controller able to estimate this force is proposed. Also the problem of controlling simultaneously both the position and the stiffness trajectory in the ro...
متن کاملExploiting Passive Dynamics with Variable Stiffness Actuation in Robot Brachiation
This paper explores a passive control strategy with variable stiffness actuation for swing movements. We consider brachiation as an example of a highly dynamic task which requires exploitation of gravity in an efficient manner for successful task execution. First, we present our passive control strategy considering a pendulum with variable stiffness actuation. Then, we formulate the problem bas...
متن کاملHaptic Links: Bimanual Haptics for Virtual Reality Using Variable Stiffness Actuation
We present Haptic Links, electro-mechanically actuated physical connections capable of rendering variable stiffness between two commodity handheld virtual reality (VR) controllers. When attached, Haptic Links can dynamically alter the forces perceived between the user’s hands to support the haptic rendering of a variety of two-handed objects and interactions. They can rigidly lock controllers i...
