Abstract

The variable stiffness actuation (VSA) technology has been recently developed and applied in robotic arms. Mechanism robustness, high peak torque and velocity, and stiffness adjustment flexibility are key benefits of VSA joints. However, the achievable Cartesian stiffness by uncoupled VSA joints is limited. Therefore we suggest and analyze the use of an active impedance controller in combination with the passive joints to further increase the stiffness range. An algorithm to optimize the passive and active Cartesian stiffness is proposed to achieve a desired Cartesian stiffness as precise as possible. The algorithm was implemented and tested on the VSA robot DLR Hand Arm System. Experimental results and measurements of the active/passive impedance algorithm are shown.
