Artificial Muscles Powered by Glucose [PDF]
Advanced Materials, 2019 AbstractUntethered actuation is important for robotic devices to achieve autonomous motion, which is typically enabled by using batteries. Using enzymes to provide the required electrical charge is particularly interesting as it will enable direct harvesting of fuel components from a surrounding fluid. Here, a soft artificial muscle is presented, which

Effect of Wing Corrugation on the Aerodynamic Efficiency of Two-Dimensional Flapping Wings
Applied Sciences, 2020 Many previous studies have shown that wing corrugation of an insect wing is only structurally beneficial in enhancing the wing’s bending stiffness and does not much help to improve the aerodynamic performance of flapping wings.

Development and Evaluation of body weight reducing walker driven by pneumatic artificial muscle
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2023 This paper describes a body weight reducing walking support system using pneumatic artificial muscles. The user of the system walks while sitting on a saddle. The saddle supports the weight of the upper body and reduces the load on the lower limbs.
