Using a Dual Differential Rheological Actuator as a high-performance haptic interface

Most modern robotic systems are fast and repeatable position controlled machines. However, because of their inability to interact safely, robustly and in a versatile manner, they mostly remain confined to controlled areas where they execute specific preprogrammed actions. Providing high performance motion simultaneously with the ability to physically interact significantly remains a challenge.
