Variable-stiffness Locomotion

Variable-Stiffness Locomotion is a bioinspired locomotion strategy in which the mechanical stiffness of the locomotory apparatus is actively modulated to adapt to environmental conditions and locomotion tasks, distinguishing it from fixed-stiffness and rigid-body locomotion approaches.
