Compliant actuators that mimic biological muscle performance with applications in a highly biomimetic robotic arm (2023)
Working Paper
Yang, H., Wei, G., Ren, L., & Yan, L. Compliant actuators that mimic biological muscle performance with applications in a highly biomimetic robotic arm

This paper endeavours to bridge the existing gap in muscular actuator design for ligament-skeletal-inspired robots, thereby fostering the evolution of these robotic systems. We introduce two novel compliant actuators, namely the Internal Torsion Spri...
