Variable Stiffness Manipulators

Variable Stiffness Manipulators is a mechanical system capable of modulating its joint or structural rigidity in response to external loads or control inputs, distinguishing it from conventional manipulators by enabling adaptive interaction dynamics through active or passive stiffness regulation.
