Series Elastic Actuator for Dynamixel MX64 and MX106

We utilize a Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) in our humanoid robot Dimitri at the Univ. Federal de Santa Maria, Brazil. These components are engineered to be connected to a Dynamixel actuator. The outcome is a torsional spring in series with the original actuator. We measure the angular displacement of the torsional spring using a custom circuit. This enables us to determine the torque on the actuator and control the resulting angular position.
