ARTIFICIAL MUSCLES AS ROBOTIC ACTUATORS
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1988Abstract An artificial muscle is introduced which responses to chemical stimulation producing an actuator for use in robotic applications. A mathematical model of the physical and chemical processes involved has been developed and this has been incorporated into a simulation of the ‘muscular’ actions which are occuring.

Artificial muscles are soft actuators with the capability of either bending or contraction/elongation subjected to external stimulation. However, there are currently no artificial muscles that can accomplish these actions simultaneously. We found that the single layered, latticed microstructure of onion epidermal cells after acid treatment became ...

Many devices and processes produce low grade waste heat. Some of these include combustion engines, electrical circuits, biological processes and industrial processes. To harvest this heat energy thermoelectric devices, using the Seebeck effect, are commonly used. However, these devices have limitations in efficiency, and usable voltage.

This article presents hydraulic artificial muscles as a viable alternative to pneumatic artificial muscles. Despite the actuation mechanism being similar to its pneumatic counterpart, hydraulic artificial muscles have not been widely studied. Hydraulic artificial muscles offer all the same advantages of pneumatic artificial muscles, such as compliance,
