Abstract

Some interesting novel ideas on how the compliance needs of manipulators may be met by changing the stiffness of a structure have been presented in a paper by Ang and Andeen [1]. The purpose of the present note is to outline a novel concept for another variable-stiffness mechanism that may be useful in automating the process of driving nails or piles.
