Safe robot with artificial pneumatic muscle

2009 IEEE International Symposium on Industrial Electronics, 2009
The 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 ...

Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for Aerospace Applications

50th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 2009
Morphing aircraft reconfigure themselves to optimize flight performance for various and substantially different mission objectives. Research and simulation studies have shown the wide variety of performance benefits afforded by morphing technologies, but there have historically been barriers preventing the fabrication and testing of such vehicles.

Variable Recruitment in Bundles of Miniature Pneumatic Artificial Muscles and Space Qualified Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

2016
The natural compliance and force generation properties of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) allow them to operate like human muscles in anthropomorphic robotic manipulators. Traditionally, manipulators use a single PAM or multiple PAMs actuated in unison in place of a human muscle.

Dynamical behaviour of pneumatic artificial muscles

Meccanica, 2014
The mechanical response of pneumatic artificial muscles is analyzed in transient and periodic conditions, assuming the inextensibility of the sheathing fibres and considering the influence of the texture geometry, of the dissipation due to the mutual sliding between the braids and of the stress field inside the bladder thickness, where the constituent ...

Pneumatic Artificial Muscle in Biomedical Applications

2007
The intention of this article is to introduce and overview Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs). The construction of PAMS mainly consist of flexible, inflatable membranes, having orthotropic material behaviour. The main properties shaping the PAMs will be explained in terms of their loadcarrying capacity and low weight in assembly.

Study on a Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Actuator

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
Pneumatic artificial actuator had been designed and was used as power driven. A 3-DOF Pneumatic artificial actuator was described as a micro-robot flexible actuator, the mechanical model and dynamic characteristics were studied for high accurate control.
