A regenerative differential includes torque members, and a gear assembly that includes a primary gear set and a plurality of secondary gear sets. The primary gear set is configured to transfer torque between the secondary gear sets and first and second torque members. The first secondary gear set transfers torque between the primary gear set and a third torque member. The second secondary gear set transfers torque between the primary gear set and a fourth torque member. The gear assembly is configured to maintain a fixed relationship between torque member rotation velocities ω1, ω2, ω3, and ω4, such that ω3=Mω+Δω, ω=Mω+Aω, Mand Δare functions of a ratio of the first secondary gear set, and Mand Δare functions of kof a ratio of the second secondary gear set. 1. A regenerative differential comprising:a plurality of torque members; anda gear assembly comprising a primary gear set and a plurality of secondary gear sets coupled to the primary gear set, the primary gear set being coupled to a first of the torque members and to a second of the torque members and configured to transfer torque between the secondary gear sets and the first and second torque members via a common torque transfer member common to the secondary gear sets, wherein a first of the secondary gear sets is coupled to a third of the torque members and is configured to transfer torque between the common torque transfer member and the third torque member, and a second of the secondary gear sets is coupled to a fourth of the torque members and is configured to transfer torque between the common torque transfer member and the fourth torque member,{'sub': 1', '2', '3', '4, 'claim-text': [{'br': None, 'sub': 3', 'L', '2', 'L', '1, 'i': '=M', 'ωω+Δω, and'}, {'br': None, 'sub': 4', 'R', '2', 'R', '1, 'i': '=M', 'ωω+Δω,'}], 'wherein the gear assembly is configured to maintain a fixed kinematic relationship between ω, ω, ωand ω, as follows [{'sub': L', 'L', 'L, 'Mand Δare functions of k, and'}, {'sub': R', 'R', ' ...
