The Dual Smart Drive is a specially designed nonlinear actuator intended for use in climbing and walking legged robots. It features a continuously changing transmission ratio and d...
By exploiting properties of the joint space mass-inertia matrix of flexure jointed hexapods, a new decoupling method is proposed. The new decoupling method, through a static input...
