The invention discloses a variable-stiffness driver based on a magnetorheological elastomer. The variable-stiffness driver comprises an input connecting rod frame, a lever arm, an output connecting rod and a variable-stiffness mechanism, the input connecting rod frame forms a driver outer frame, provides space and positions for installation of other parts, and is provided with a driving motor. One end of the lever arm is fixedly connected with the driving motor and serves as a bridge for changing the balance position and arranging the variable stiffness mechanism; one end of the output connecting rod is mounted on the input connecting rod frame in a position coaxial with the driving motor through a rotating pair; the variable stiffness mechanism is composed of a spring-like mechanism and a push rod motor, the stiffness of the magnetorheological elastomer is influenced by changing an external magnetic field, and the change of the joint stiffness is realized by pre-tightening the spring-like mechanism through the push rod motor. Compared with a traditional variable-rigidity driver achieved through a pre-tightening spring, the variable-rigidity driver is larger in rigidity change range, more in change mode and higher in change speed, and application of the variable-rigidity driver in scenes such as biped robots is facilitated.
