Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and control of inherently safe robots with variable stiffness links
TL;DR: A dynamic model of VSL robots is developed using the pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) and a feedback-linearization based controller is proposed based on PRBM to improve the robustness and vibration suppression.

An Actively Controlled Variable Stiffness Structure via Layer Jamming and Pneumatic Actuation
Collin Mikol,Hai-Jun Su +1 more
TL;DR: This novel research would positively impact the robotics field by creating lightweight morphing structures that are flexible and easily deformed, but also stiff with high load-carrying capability for increased human-robot interaction.

Development of a Tendon Driven Variable Stiffness Continuum Robot with Layer Jamming
TL;DR: A stiffness test of one arm segment was conducted to verifying the load carrying capacity of the variable stiffness robotic arm, then the stiffness ratio of the layer jammed structure was calculated to analyze the stiffness improvement compared with unstiffened soft robot.
