  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the stiffness control problem for a manipulator actuated by rubber actuators. Two stiffness control methods, the adjusting ΔP method and the adjusting P0 method are presented and studied. The adjusting P0 method utilizes the intrinsic flexibility of the rubber actuator to realize the joint stiffness control, which is different from conventional force control methods. Both methods are demonstrated experimentally, and their feasibility is confirmed with experimental results
