In this paper, the tracking control problem of a biomimetic exoskeleton powered by a pair of
pneumatic artificial muscles is considered. The antagonistic configuration of the pair of …

This study investigates the technique of modeling and identification of a new dynamic NARX
fuzzy model by means of genetic algorithms. In conventional identification techniques, there …

An empirical and theoretical study is conducted on a special actuator termed “pneumatic
muscle”(PM) being used in a force control system framework. Such an actuator has …

This study focuses on the parameter characterisation of a three-element phenomenological
model for commercially available pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs). This model consists …

The overall aim of engineering design is to improve on technology and way of life. Here, we
show how the tensile properties of magnesium have been improved using concentric …

Animals have evolved over billions of years to adapt to their surroundings via natural
selection, ensuring that the most optimal biological systems will survive. Biomimicry solves …

This paper shows how a controls-oriented approach can be used to improve the
functionality, energy efficiency and bulk/weight requirements of advanced exercise …

Research described in this dissertation expands the use of a biomechanical
phenomenological model to a commercially available pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) …

Pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) offer significant advantages over more traditional
actuators, which make them prime candidates in rehabilitation devices. A dynamic test …

This study focuses on a new method based on energy conservation and experimental
results to predict contractile force for pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs). The quasi-static …
