... theoretical and practical values in the field of lower limb rehabilitation robots. This article proposes a cable-driven lower limb rehabilitation robot with variable stiffness properties, consisting of a seat mechanism and a rehabilitation mechanism. Additionally, variable stiffness joints are introduced...

... for tensegrity manipulators due to the strong correlation between the equilibrium pose and the prestress state. This article proposes an in situ variable stiffness strategy for the dual-triangle planar tensegrity manipulator (DTPTM), which can change the manipulator’s stiffness without changing its pose. First...

.... Therefore, it is of great significance to introduce a variable stiffness mechanism so that the soft robotic hand can flexibly change its stiffness under different task requirements, thus improving its grasping stability. An innovative design of a novel particle clogging variable stiffness soft robotic hand...

.... Assoc. Editor: Shorya Awtar. 20 03 2014 11 09 2014 A machine with an internal variable-stiffness mechanism can adapt its output force to the working environment. In the literature, linear variable-stiffness mechanisms (LVSMs) are rarer than those producing rotary motion. This paper...
