TL;DR: How the design procedures and data presentation of a generic VSA could be organized so as to minimize the engineer’s effort in choosing the actuator type and size that would best fit the application needs is considered.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
VSA-CubeBot: A modular variable stiffness platform for multiple degrees of freedom robots
Manuel G. Catalano,Giorgio Grioli,Manolo Garabini,Fabio Bonomo,Michele Mancini,Nikolaos G. Tsagarakis,Antonio Bicchi +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents the design and implementation of a modular servo-VSA multi-unit system, called VSA-CubeBot, which offers a customizable platform for the realization and test of variable stiffness robotic structures with many degrees of freedom.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optimality principles in variable stiffness control: The VSA hammer
TL;DR: This paper studies optimal control of VSA and shows that varying the spring stiffness during the execution of the hammering task improves the final performance substantially, providing insight in the optimality principles underpinning general VSA control.
