Randomized trial evaluates joint stiffness control using non-linear actuators in multi-DOF joints, suggesting advances in robotic articulation.

The aim is to develop a method for controlling stiffness in multi-degree-of-freedom joints by mimicking human muscular actions.
Described a novel actuator called ANLES with non-linear elasticity.
Introduced a formula for controlling joint stiffness and angles using multiple ANLES actuators.
Evaluated the proposed formula through simulation analysis on a three-DOF joint controlled by six or eight tendons.
The simulation confirmed effective control of stiffness across the joint degrees of freedom.
Joint stability was improved through coordinated action of multiple ANLES actuators.

Koichi Koganezawa (2005) studied this question.
