DESIGN AND CONTROL OF A DISCRETE VARIABLE STIFFNESS ACTUATOR WITH INSTANT STIFFNESS SWITCH FOR SAFE HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION

Design and Control of a Discrete Variable Stiffness Actuator With Instant Stiffness Switch for Safe Human-Robot Interaction

Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA) have been proposed as an alternative Pants actuation system for manipulators that are utilized for safe physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI).However, in the incidents of collision, the need of a fast response in stiffness tuning would rise to ensure safety.In this paper, we present a novel Discrete Variable Sti
