A Survey on applications of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
2011 19th Mediterranean Conference on Control & Automation (MED), 2011 The aim of this article is to present a survey on applications of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs). PAMs are highly non-linear pneumatic actuators where their elongation is proportional to the interval pressure. During the last decade, there has been a significant increase in the industrial and scientific utilization of PAMs due to their advantages ...
