Repetitive Control of Robotic Joint With Variable Impedance Utilizing Agonist-Antagonist Muscle Pair Structure Based on Virtual Trajectories by Kaho Umeda, Yinlai Jiang, Hiroshi Yokoi, Shunta Togo

“…We developed a robotic joint with an agonist-antagonist muscle pair structure that can easily change its mechanical impedance using a position-controlled motor combined with a grommet, which changes its stiffness nonlinearly with respect to elongation, in addition to a wire traction mechanism as the control target. The results of simulations and real robot experiments demonstrated that the proposed method can achieve trajectory-tracking control even when the joint impedance is so low that the trajectory diverges from that of the conventional method. …”
