Design of Variable Damping and Stiffness Matrices
amping and stiffness control in a telerobotic system allows the programmer to define the master and slave dynamics to suit a given task. Unfortunately, many requirements for good teleoperation produce conflicting choices of desired dynamic parameters for different tasks. It is proposed here that the master and slave damping and stiffness matrices be functionally dependent on b e n d and command...
متن کاملOptimal Control of Variable Stiffness Actuators with Nonlinear Springs
Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA) are currently being regarded as promising actuator types in robotics research especially due to their capability to store potential energy in their elastic elements and to control this energy by altering the elastic properties of these elements. The controllable potential energy enables these actuators to outperform their rigid counterparts especially when rea...
متن کاملOptimal Performance of Variable Stiffness Devices for Structural Control
This paper addresses control of structural vibrations using semi-active actuators that are capable of manipulating stiffness and/or producing variable stiffness. Usually vibration suppression is achieved using damping devices rather than stiffness ones. However, stiffness devices can produce large forces and have significant advantages for shock isolation purposes. In this work we use a passivi...
متن کاملMechanical Influences on the Design of Actuators with Variable Stiffness
In the 1990s compliant joint actuation was introduced to robotics with the Series Elastic Actuator [1] and the Mechanical Impedance Adjuster [2]. Such concepts provide safer human-robot interaction, can store energy and decrease force control effort [1]. In the following decades, energy efficient actuation with such concepts had high impact in mobile applications such as bipedal robots, since t...
متن کاملDesign of a Variable Stiffness Soft Dexterous Gripper
This article presents the design of a variable stiffness, soft, three-fingered dexterous gripper. The gripper uses two designs of McKibben muscles. Extensor muscles that increase in length when pressurized are used to form the fingers of the gripper. Contractor muscles that decrease in length when pressurized are then used to apply forces to the fingers through tendons, which cause flexion and ...
