Abstract :

This paper describes data-driven modelling methods and its use for the control of a novel set of series-elastic actuators (SEAs). A set of elastic actuators was developed in order to fulfill the end-user needs for tailored industrial collaborative robot manipulators of different morphology and payload. Three different types of elastic actuation were investigated: namely, disc springs, coil springs and torsion bars. The developed algorithms were validated both on single actuators and on a 6-DOF robotic arm composed of such actuators
