Modeling Hysteresis in Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

2008 IEEE Conference on Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics, 2008
Estimating 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.

The use of pneumatic artificial muscles in robot construction

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2011
PurposeRecent requirements for drive systems in robotic technology, mainly for their performance, performance and weight ratio, compactness with minimal internal structure and with the integration of main functional parts, lead to intensive application of new, non‐traditional solutions.

Unplugged Powered Suit with Pneumatic Gel Muscles

2017
Assistive suits are useful in case of injury or muscle fatigue or due to aging. To support such conditions, we develop the unplugged assistive suit using low air pressure actuated pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). In demonstration we show the ability to actuate low power PAMs with the help of a shoe with air pumping capability.

Pneumatic Muscle Actuator Control

2004
Abstract : This research is relevant to the Air Fore mission because pneumatic muscle actuation devices arc advantageous for certain types of robotics as well as for strength and/or mobility assistance for humans. For space robotics, PMs are advantageous because they require little electrical power (being pneumatically powered), are lightweight, and ...
