, 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 ...

EPAM: Eversive Pneumatic Artificial Muscle
2019 2nd IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2019Pneumatic Artificial Muscles, which are lightweight actuators with inherently compliant behavior, are broadly recognized as safe actuators for devices that assist or interact with humans. This paper presents the design and implementation of a soft pneumatic muscle based on the eversion principle - Eversive Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (EPAM).

APAM: Antagonistic Pneumatic Artificial Muscle
2018 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2018We present a pneumatic actuator capable of changing length by 1000%, applying both pushing and pulling forces, and independently modulating its length and stiffness. These characteristics are enabled by individually addressable internal and external chambers that work antagonistically against one another.

Active modeling for pneumatic artificial muscle
2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC), 2016In this paper, an active modeling approach for a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is being considered. The PAM's nonlinearity, hysteresis and time-varying characteristics cause difficulties in modeling its behavior and designing high-performance controllers.

The Pneumatic Biped ?Lucy? Actuated with Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
Autonomous Robots, 2005This paper reports on the bipedal robot Lucy which is actuated by pleated pneumatic artificial muscles. This novel actuator is very suitable to be used in machines which move by means of legs. Besides its high power to weight ratio the actuator has an adaptable passive behavior, meaning the stiffness of the actuator can be changed on-line.

A skeletal framework artificial hand actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles
Advanced Robotics, 1998Describes a method and a process for developing a soft artificial hand similar to a real human hand and its small-size soft actuator. For the soft actuator, we took a pneumatic artificial muscle and succeeded in reducing it to a diameter of 3.5 mm. The pneumatic artificial muscle allows the artificial hand not only to move softly and powerfully by ...

Control of Artificial Pneumatic Muscle for Robot Application
2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2006Pneumatic muscle has many advantages such as elasticity, high power and structural similarity to a living thing's muscle. There has been many researches to control robot actuated by pneumatic muscles, but conventional theories are hard to apply on real robot plants because of their assumptions and disregards of pneumatic muscle's physical aspects like ...

Nonparametric control algorithms for a pneumatic artificial muscle
Expert Systems with Applications, 2012Highlights? Implementation of a self-organizing fuzzy controller for position and force control. ? Controller is experimentally evaluated alongside a PD and fixed rule fuzzy controller. ? Two different pneumatic valves are compared to determine its influence. ? SOFC outperforms the PD and FCC in standard control tests.
