Pleated pneumatic artificial muscles: compliant robotic actuators
Pleated pneumatic artificial muscles (PPAMs), which have recently been developed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Department of Mechanical Engineering are brought forward as robotic actuators in this paper. Their distinguishing feature is their pleated design, as a result of which their contraction forces and maximum displacement are very high compared to other pneumatic artificial muscles. T...
متن کاملPleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for Robotic Applications
This work describes the implementation of Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PPAM) into innovative robotic applications. These actuators have a very high power to weight ratio and an inherent adaptable compliance. Two applications for which these characteristics give interesting surplus values are described. Nowadays legged robots are gaining more and more interest. But most of the robots us...
متن کاملDesign of a Biped Actuated by Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
This paper presents the design of a biped actuated by Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles. These actuators have a very high power to weight ratio and an inherent adaptable compliance. The mechanical design of the bipedal robot is modular, making parts easy to change and replace. The frame of the robot is made out of a high-grade aluminium alloy. The weight of the machine, all included, is abou...
متن کاملThe Concept and Design of Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
This paper describes the design of a new type of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM), namely the Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PPAM). It was developed as an improvement with regard to existing types of PAM, e.g. the McKibben muscle. Its principle characteristic is its pleated membrane. It can inflate without material stretching and friction and has practically no stress in the direction pe...
متن کاملIntroducing Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles for the Actuation of Legged Robots : a One-dimensional Setup
This paper reports on the use of a new actuator, called Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscle, in a one dimensional set-up, it is build as a footless leg with only the knee powered by a pair of Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles. The main goal of this study is the evaluation of the adaptable passive behaviour of these Artificial Muscles in a leg, which can be exploited for an energy efficient w...
