Inverse Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for Application in Low‐Cost Ventilators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2021
The procurement and maintenance cost of high‐end ventilators preclude their stockpiles sufficient for the mass emergency situations. Therefore, there is a significant demand for mechanical ventilators in such situations. Herein, a low‐cost, portable, yet
