Robots are still outperforming humans regarding their efficiency and dexterity. On the other hand, however, muscles are more efficient and have a higher power to weight ratio than electric motors. As a consequence, among others, manipulators for human robot interaction in industry or service applications have a low payload to weight ratio and a low energy efficiency. Therefore, we developed a novel actuation concept which we name Series-Parallel Elastic Actu- ation (SPEA). The concept enables variable recruit- ment and locking of multiple springs in parallel. In this paper the latestMACCEPA-based SPEA is presented and first results are shown. |
