Abstract

The Surgicobot is a cobot arm designed to generate high and low mechanical impedance though force feedback. We propose to use the impedance amplitude range in frequency domain as a comparision criterion to choose the best solution for the surgicobot actuation. We study different actuators to find the ones with best transparency and impedance capacity: low power electric motor combined with reconfigurable mechanical stops.
