Servo pneumatic systems are widely utilized for obtaining accurate position control in many
industrial drives. Such technology has the potential to replace electro mechanical and …

The idea to use air for transmitting power is very old. Ctesibius in ancient Greece described
a catapult using pneumatic cylinders to first store energy and then rapidly accelerate an …

This paper presents a reconfigurable ankle rehabilitation robot to cover various
rehabilitation exercise modes. The designed robot can allow desired ankle and foot motions …

Automation is quickly becoming the standard across nearly every area of manufacturing.
Pneumatic actuators play a very important role in modern automation systems, yet until now …

This paper deals with a high-friction pneumatic actuator positioning technique based on a
LuGre friction closed-loop observer dynamics. The main purpose of the technique is to …

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for the kinematics of a hybrid robot, called
Wheeleg. The wheeled-legged robot has two pneumatically actuated front legs, each with …

This paper presents a novel reconfigurable ankle rehabilitation robot to cover various
rehabilitation exercise modes. The designed robot can allow desired ankle and foot motions …

The paper is devoted to the adaptive control of pneumatic drives for the Stewart platform with
six degrees of freedom. Based on the approach known as the method of the implicit …

This article describes a hybrid wheeled/legged robot, called the Wheeleg robot. The
Wheeleg robot consists of wheels and legs separated but always acting together to …
