Soft, Rotating Pneumatic Actuator.
This article describes a soft pneumatic actuator that generates cyclical motion. The actuator consists of several (three, four, or five) chambers (arranged around the circumference of a circle surrounding a central rod) that can be actuated independently using negative pressure (or partial vacuum). Sequential actuation of the four-chamber device using reduced pressure moves the central rod cycl...
متن کاملPneumatic Soft Actuator for Human Assist Technology
In the coming advanced age society, an innovative technology to assist the activities of daily living of elderly and disabled people and the heavy work in nursing is desired. To develop such a technology, an actuator safe and friendly for human is required. It should be small, lightweight and has to provide a proper softness. We call such an actuator soft actuator. A pneumatic rubber artificial...
متن کاملActive Control of a Robotic Arm with Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Actuator
The paper is on the control of a robotic arm actuated by a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) system. A conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller with active force control (AFC) is employed to control the robot arm assigned to operate a prescribed task. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy compared to the PID control only scheme. The res...
متن کاملElectric-Pneumatic Actuator: A New Muscle for Locomotion
A better understanding of how actuator design supports locomotor function may help develop novel and more functional powered assistive devices or robotic legged systems. Legged robots comprise passive parts (e.g., segments, joints and connections) which are moved in a coordinated manner by actuators. In this study, we propose a novel concept of a hybrid electric-pneumatic actuator (EPA) as an e...
متن کاملLow Cost Intelligent Arm Actuator Using Pneumatic Artificial Muscle with Biofeedback Control
Hard Exoskeletons and arm actuators have already been designed and available in industry but they are expensive, heavy and cumbersome so to reduce these drawbacks a low cost lightweight intelligent arm actuator has been designed, constructed and evaluated. It consists of a pneumatic artificial muscle, constructed using a football bladder and covered by parachute material to limit its expansion....
