Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are soft and flexible linear pneumatic actuators which
produce human muscle like actuation. Due to these properties, the muscle actuators have …

This paper characterizes the ability of soft pneumatic actuators and robots to resist
mechanical insults that would irreversibly damage or destroy hard robotic systems—systems …

This paper suggests a new control design based on the concept of Synergetic Control theory
for controlling a one-link robot arm actuated by Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) in …

In this paper a new dynamic model for an actuator applied as a pneumatic artificial muscle
(PAM) is developed. The model simulates the two-direction motion of a PAM caused by a …

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) belong to the group of nonconventional actuators with
remarkable force/weight ratio that can be used for the construction of soft mechanisms safe …

The McKibben muscle belongs to the type of muscles known as braided muscles. It is made
of an inner hyper-elastic tube, surrounded by a braided shell made of inextensible threads; …

In this article, two types of actuators are applied for a lower limb exoskeleton. They are DC
motors with the harmonic drive and the pneumatic artificial muscles. This combination takes …

In the present work, the modeling of a human arm has been carried out in its antagonistic
actuation mode. Here, the functions of the biceps and triceps muscles are replaced by a …

Pneumatic artificial muscle-based robotic systems usually necessitate the use of various
nonlinear control techniques in order to improve their performance. Their robustness to …

This article proposes a detailed nonlinear mathematical model of an antagonistic pneumatic
artificial muscle (PAM) actuator system for estimating the joint angle and torque using an …
