Compliant Actuators

Compliant Actuators is a class of actuators in actuator design that incorporates inherent elastic elements to achieve controlled, adaptive motion through deliberate deformation, distinguishing it from rigid actuators by enabling energy storage, shock absorption, and safe interaction with uncertain environments.
