Abstract
A torque-limiting actuator assembly includes a transmission coupled to a housing and a motor. The transmission includes an input member, an intermediate member, and an output member, all rotatable around a common axis. The input member is coupled to the motor and is configured to engage the intermediate member that engages the output member and causes it to rotate at a predictable rate. The intermediate member is configured to rotate if the output member experiences torque greater than a torque limit.
