| Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to an adjustable compliance
apparatus. The adjustable compliance apparatus includes a shaft, a sleeve
element, and a torsion spring. The sleeve element includes a bore there
through, where the shaft is positioned through the bore of the sleeve
element. Further, the torsion spring includes a plurality of coils, where
the shaft is positioned through the plurality of coils. Moreover, the
sleeve element is slidable in an axial direction along the shaft between
the torsion spring and the shaft. Accordingly, compliance of the
adjustable compliance apparatus is adjustable based on a number of the
plurality of coils in contact with the sleeve element as positioned along
the shaft within the torsion spring. |
