A Variable-Stiffness Compliant Mechanism for Stiffness-Controlled Haptic Interfaces

In this research a variable-stiffness compliant mechanism was developed to generate variable force-displacement profiles at the mechanisms coupler point. The mechanism is based on a compliant Roberts straight-line mechanism, and the stiffness is varied by changing the effective length of the complia...
