A Pneumatically Actuated Ball and Beam System
International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education, 2008A ball and beam balancing mechanism actuated by a pneumatic rotary drive is presented in this paper. A laboratory model of the pneumatically actuated ball and beam system has been developed within student projects during courses related to mechatronics and automatic control.

Automatic tuning of pneumatic servo actuators
Advanced Robotics, 1998The high power-to-weight ratio and low cost of pneumatic actuators makes them attractive for robotics and automation applications; however, achieving fast, accurate position control with them is difficult. Furthermore, tuning the controller (and/or obtaining process models) requires extensive expertise and time.

Soft pneumatic actuators for legged locomotion
2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO 2014), 2014Search and rescue robots are being used more frequently to access hazardous environments to assess situations and locate survivors. There are a wide range of existing mobile platforms for various situations and environments, but these robots are typically bulky, heavy or expensive, limiting their widespread and practical use in case of disaster ...

The development of a pneumatically actuated driving simulator
2016 IEEE International Conference on Automation, Quality and Testing, Robotics (AQTR), 2016This paper deals with the development of a Driving Simulator actuated by pneumatic muscles. So that the correct mechanical structure could be yielded, several investigations have been carried out, i.e. topology analyses, kinematic analysis and workspace investigations.

Wrist Compression Feedback by Pneumatic Actuation
Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2015Most common forms of haptic feedback use vibration, which immediately captures the user's attention, yet is limited in the range of strengths it can achieve. Vibration feedback over extended periods also tends to be annoying. We present compression feedback, a form of haptic feedback that scales from very subtle to very strong and is able to provide ...

Surface-normal electrostatic/pneumatic actuator
[1992] Proceedings IEEE Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, 1992An electrostatically driven, pneumatic actuator able to generate surface-normal deflections is described. Two sealed, air-filled, concentric chambers that share a membrane and are connected by channels make up the actuator. The portion of the membrane suspended over the outer chamber serves as the movable electrode plate while the conducting substrate ...

An Improved Dynamic Model of Pneumatic Actuators
International Journal of Fluid Power, 2000AbstractAn improved predictive model of pneumatic jacks is introduced in order to develop a component oriented model library for the numerical prototyping of pneumatic actuators. First, the valve orifices model is derived from the ISO standard as a function of the orifice opening.

Isotonic characteristics of a pneumatic muscle actuator
Advanced Robotics, 2014The article presents the problems of determination of the static characteristics of the pneumatic muscle actuator for an artificial hand. The procedure of experimental investigation of the constant load characteristics (the so called isotonic characteristics) of the muscle is described.
