BSA -- Bi-Stiffness Actuation for optimally exploiting intrinsic compliance and inertial coupling effects in elastic joint robots
Dennis Ossadnik, Mehmet C. Yildirim, Fan Wu +4
Compliance in actuation has been exploited to generate highly dynamic maneuvers such as throwing that take advantage of the potential energy stored in joint springs. However, the e…
Exploiting Variable Impedance for Energy Efficient Sequential Movements
Fan Wu, Matthew Howard
Compliant robotics have seen successful applications in energy efficient locomotion and cyclic manipulation. However, exploitation of variable physical impedance for energy efficie…
Energy regenerative damping in variable impedance actuators for long-term robotic deployment
Fan Wu, Matthew Howard
Energy efficiency is a crucial issue towards longterm deployment of compliant robots in the real world. In the context of variable impedance actuators (VIAs), one of the main focus…
A Hybrid Dynamic-regenerative Damping Scheme for Energy Regeneration in Variable Impedance Actuators
Fan Wu, Matthew Howard
Increasing research efforts have been made to improve the energy efficiency of variable impedance actuators (VIAs) through reduction of energy consumption. However, the harvesting…
