In recent years there has been interest in the development of magnetorheological actuators for robotic applications with adjustable compliance. In this paper we explore the conceptualization, design and test of a new kind magnetorheological piston head design. Inside the head of this new damper a circular assembly of magnetorheological valves is used to control the damping force of the piston. The results show the feasibility of the new design, and its potential for compliant robotic applications.
