To make robots more human-like and safer to use around humans, artificial muscles exhibiting compliance have gained significant attention from researchers. However, despite having excellent performance, pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have failed to gain significant traction in commercial mobile applications due to their requirement to be tethered ...

Non-linear control of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
21st Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation, 2013In this article, a non-linear PID structure is being synthesized, providing ameliorated compensation of the Pneumatic Artificial Muscle's (PAM) non-linear hysteretic phenomena and advanced robustness. Experimental studies are being utilized to prove the overall efficiency of the non-linear control scheme regarding: a) set-point tracking performance for

Enhanced manipulator's safety with artificial pneumatic muscle
2009 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2009The safety of humans working with robots is an important issue. Many studies have addressed related methods, but fundamental limits to meet required safety have been met owing to the absence of compliance in the robot actuators. Pneumatic muscle is considered to be a basic actuator and offers the advantage of intrinsic elasticity to achieve the joint ...

Modeling Hysteresis in Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
2008 IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, 2008Estimating the force exerted by a pneumatic muscle actuator by measuring its gauge pressure is challenging since hysteresis is almost always present. This paper investigates the hysteresis phenomenon in pleated pneumatic artificial muscles, which is found to be largely independent of gauge pressure.

Measurement and modeling of McKibben pneumatic artificial muscles
IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1996This paper reports mechanical testing the modeling results for the McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device contains an expanding tube surrounded by braided cords. We report static and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a linearized model of these properties for three different models.

Design of flat pneumatic artificial muscles
Smart Materials and Structures, 2017Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have gained wide use in the field of robotics due to their ability to generate linear forces and motions with a simple mechanism, while remaining lightweight and compact. However, PAMs are limited by their traditional cylindrical form factors, which must increase radially to improve contraction force generation ...

Control performance of pneumatic artificial muscle
SPIE Proceedings, 2006The robot in the future will be lightened and, in addition, the complex tasks will be done by the consumption of less energy. To achieve this, the development of an artificial muscle actuator which is as soft as a human-being becomes indispensable. At present, the artificial muscle actuator used is the McKibben type, but the heat and mechanical loss of

Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Actuation and Modeling
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009A Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) yields a natural muscle‐like actuator with a high force to weight ratio, a soft and flexible structure, and adaptable compliance for a humanoid robot, rehabilitation and prosthetic appliances to the disabled, etc. To obtain optimum design and usage, the mechanical behavior of the PAM need to be understood.
