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 …

McKibben actuators are pneumatic actuators with very high force to weight ratios. Their
ability to match the behavior of biological muscles better than any other actuators has …

This paper deals with position control of a single degree of freedom (sdof) manipulator
actuated by Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) actuator. Though the compliance …

While most existing soft robots have tentacle-like morphology, this paper extends the
morphology of a soft robot from a curve to a surface. The presented robotic surface is …

Robots have entered human life, and closer relationships are being formed between
humans and robots. It is desirable that these robots be flexible and lightweight. With this as …

In this paper, a modified static force modeling approach, which is based on fundamental
pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) modeling techniques, is proposed. In addition, the thermal …

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are linear pneumatic actuators consisting of a flexible
bladder with a set of in-extensible fibers woven as a sheath on the outside. Upon application …

Purpose This paper aims to propose an enhanced static model of commercial braided
pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), which is fully analytical without the need for …

Modelling the behaviour of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) has proven difficult due to its
highly complicated structure, nonlinear nature of rubbery material, and air compressibility …

This paper describes a voltage-induction type electrostatic film motor that operates by
feeding electric power to the slider by electrostatic induction. In the electrostatic motor …
