More and more variable stiffness actuators are being designed and implemented because of their ability to minimize large forces due to shocks, to safely interact with the user and their ability to store and release energy in passive elastic elements. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 The design of VSR-joint is compact and integrated highly and the operating is simply. The mechanics, the principle of operation and the model of the VSR-joint are proposed. The principle of operation of VSR-joint is based on a lever arm mechanism with a continuously regulated pivot point. The VSR-joint features a highly dynamic stiffness adjustment along with a mechanically programmable system behavior. This allows an easy adaption to a big variety of tasks. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 Preliminary results are presented to demonstrate the fast stiffness regulation response and the wide range of stiffness achieved by the proposed VSR-joint design. <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p> \u2013 In this paper, a new variable stiffness joint is proposed through changing the cantilever arm to change the performance of the elastic element, which is compact, small size and simple adjustment.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ir-11-2014-0422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,12]],"date-time":"2015-06-12T05:22:52Z","timestamp":1434086572000},"page":"371-378","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["A new variable stiffness robot joint"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Yong","family":"Tao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Tianmiao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yunqing","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Long","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Hegen","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122321472757100_b17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Catalano, M.\n               , \n                  Grioli, G.\n               , \n                  Garabini, M.\n               , \n                  Bonomo, F.\n               , \n                  Tsagarakis, N.G.\n                and \n                  Bicchi, A.\n                (2011), \u201cVSA-CubeBot: a modular variable stiffness platform for multiple degrees of freedom robots\u201d, IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, IEEE, Shanghai, pp. 5090-5095.","DOI":"10.1109\/ICRA.2011.5980457"},{"key":"key2020122321472757100_b10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Choi, J.H.\n               , \n                  Hong, S.H.\n               , \n                  Lee, W.\n                and \n                  Kang, S.\n                (2011), \u201cA robotjoint with variable stiffness using leaf springs\u201d, \n                  IEEE Transacitons on Robotics\n               , Vol. 27 No. 2, pp. 229-238.","DOI":"10.1109\/TRO.2010.2100450"},{"key":"key2020122321472757100_b12","unstructured":"Choi, J.\n               , \n                  Park, S.\n               , \n                  Lee, W.\n                and \n                  Kang, S.-C.\n                (2008), \u201cDesign of a robot joint with variable stiffness\u201d, IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, IEEE, Pasadena, CA, pp. 1760-1765."},{"key":"key2020122321472757100_b26","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Friedl, W.\n               , \n                  Hoppner, H.\n               , \n                  Petit, F.\n                and \n                  Hirzinge, G.\n                (2011), \u201cWrist and forearm rotation of the dlr hand arm system: mechanical design, shape analysis and experimental validation\u201d, IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IEEE, San Francisco, CA, pp. 1836-1842.","DOI":"10.1109\/IROS.2011.6094616"},{"key":"key2020122321472757100_b16","unstructured":"Hongwen, M.\n               , \n                  Bo, Y.\n               , \n                  Liquan, W.\n               , \n                  Zheng, Y.\n                and \n                  Yang, S.\n                (2009), \u201cMechanics analysis of two different stiffness elastic actuator in frequency domain\u201d, \n                  China Mechanical Engineering\n               .
