Characteristics of a Pneumatic Bellows Actuator for Colonoscopy
International Journal of Automation Technology, 2016 Since colonoscopic insertion requires a high level of skill on the part of the examining physician, the patient may experience pain if the physician is not so highly skilled. In this study, our objective is to realize an easy-to-execute endoscopic insertion that does not rely on the physician’s skill.

Energy saving for pneumatic actuation using dynamic model prediction [PDF]
This research investigates a novel method for energy saving in a point-to-point actuation of a pneumatic system. The method predicts the system's actuation using the Gas Law and the actuator model, and commits air supply cut-off at the time when the ...

BI-DIRECTIONAL FLEXIBLE PNEUMATIC ACTUATOR
Proceedings of the JFPS International Symposium on Fluid Power, 2002 This paper features the development of a double-effect deformable actuator, conceived as the synthesis of a fluid muscle actuator and a pneumatic spring. The actuator is therefore able to exert both compression and tension forces. The paper describes the scheme of the actuator and the design solution adopted.
