Abstract: Variable counterweight apparatuses, systems and methods. The variable counterweight system includes at least one rotatable actuator, a first variable counterweight assembly, and a second variable counterweight assembly. The first variable counterweight assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotatable actuator to rotate about a first axis. The first variable counterweight assembly is configured to geometrically reconfigure so as to change a first variable counterweight assembly center of gravity position with respect to the first variable counterweight assembly. The second variable counterweight assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotatable actuator to rotate about a second axis. The second variable counterweight assembly is configured to geometrically reconfigure so as to change a second variable counterweight assembly center of gravity position with respect to the second variable counterweight assembly.
