| Abstract: | This assignment aimed to characterize a prototype of a variable stiffness actuator based on the piezoelectric material Polyvinyldi uoride (PVdF). An existing actuator was mod- ified and a measurement setup was built around it. It was able to measure the force the actuator could output for different angles between the input and output ring. Data obtained from the experiments was processed into the output torque the actuator exerts for applied voltages of 0V, 200V and 400V. |
