Serieelastisk
Serieelastisk is a term used in robotics and biomechanics to describe a mechanical system where an elastic element is placed in series with a rigid actuator, such as a motor. This configuration allows the system to exhibit compliant behavior, meaning it can absorb and release energy, much like a spring. In a series elastic actuator (SEA), the elastic element is typically a spring, and its deformation is measured. This deformation is then used to infer the force being exerted by the actuator.
The primary advantage of using series elasticity is to improve safety and performance in applications where
