Simple, Low-Hysteresis, Foldable, Fabric Pneumatic Artificial Muscle
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2020 Soft robots offer advantages over rigid robots in adaptability, robustness to uncertainty, and human safety. However, realizing soft actuators for these robots is still a challenge. We present a simple, highly conformable pneumatic artificial muscle made

Science, 2019 Getting the most out of muscles Materials that convert electrical, chemical, or thermal energy into a shape change can be used to form artificial muscles. Such materials include bimetallic strips or host-guest materials or coiled fibers or yarns (see the Perspective by Tawfick and Tang).

X-crossing pneumatic artificial muscles
Science Advances, 2023 Artificial muscles are promising in soft exoskeletons, locomotion robots, and operation machines. However, their performance in contraction ratio, output force, and dynamic response is often imbalanced and limited by materials, structures, or actuation principles.

New twist on artificial muscles [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 Lightweight artificial muscle fibers that can match the large tensile stroke of natural muscles have been elusive. In particular, low stroke, limited cycle life, and inefficient energy conversion have combined with high cost and hysteretic performance to restrict practical use. In recent years, a new class of artificial muscles, based on highly twisted
