Equilibrage des effets gravitationnels; Gravity balancing
Total or partial cancellation of the forces required from the motors of a mechanical system to compensate for the effects of gravity on the bodies of said system.
Spring à longueur à vide nulle ; Zero-free-length spring
A zero-length spring is a helical spring that would exert zero force if its length were zero.
Actuators with series elastic elements; Series elastic actuators (SEAs)
An actuator with an elastic element in series can be seen, in basic terms, as a motor, usually electric, connected in series with a spring which acts as an energy store.
Actionneurs à raideur (ou impédance) variable ; Variable stiffness (or variable impedance) actuators (VSA / VIA)
