Collaborative robots need to work closely and safely with users while being fast and strong. Fulfilling both these needs simultaneously presents a significant challenge, if not a roadblock, for conventional geared motor technology. Magnetorheological (MR) actuation is an alternative technology that has the potential to exhibit both safety and speed at the same time in a compact and cost-effective ...
