The power surging through transmission lines over the iconic stone walls of England’s northern countryside is pushing the ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new actuator with adjustable stiffness (AwAS) is presented. AwAS is capable of controlling the position and stiffness of a joint, independently. The proposed actuator can ...

Abstract: Soft actuators typically exhibit low stiffness and low load-bearing properties due to the intrinsic limitations of soft materials. Stiffness modulation is an effective means to improve the ...
