📖In this study, the MR gearbox was first designed and prototyped. A characterization test was then conducted to verify its variable damping property. The classic Bouc–Wen model was used to describe the MR gearbox and then a mathematical model was established for the whole robotic arm. Additionally, a new variable damping control method was proposed for further improving the positioning precision and reducing energy consumption.
