Development and Evaluation of body weight reducing walker driven by pneumatic artificial muscle
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2023 This paper describes a body weight reducing walking support system using pneumatic artificial muscles. The user of the system walks while sitting on a saddle. The saddle supports the weight of the upper body and reduces the load on the lower limbs.

Robust Control Law for Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
, 2017 This paper presents a modified integral sliding surface, sliding mode control law for pneumatic artificial muscles. The cutoff frequency tuning parameter λ is squared to increase the gradient from absement (integral of position) to position and higher ...

Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Rehabilitation
Actuators, 2014 Pneumatic artificial muscles are pneumatic devices with practical and various applications as common actuators. They, as human muscles, work in agonistic-antagonistic way, giving a traction force only when supplied by compressed air. The state of the art
