Parallel Elastic Actuation

Parallel Elastic Actuation is a mechanical actuation system in which an elastic element is arranged in parallel with a conventional actuator to modulate force transmission, enhance energy efficiency, and improve dynamic performance by passively storing and releasing mechanical energy during operation.
