Hydrostatic transmission has shown promising results for enabling the manipulator to achieve low effective inertia, high stiffness, and high torque density. However, the incompressibility of fluid causes the lack of compliance, so that it could not provide intrinsic safety. Thus, it would be advantageous to introduce series compliance on the hydrostatic manipulator for adjusting stiffness dependin...
