Low 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....
متن کاملSimultaneous Force and Stiffness Control of a Pneumatic Actuator
This paper proposes a new approach to the design of a robot actuator with physically variable stiffness. The proposed approach leverages the dynamic characteristics inherent in a pneumatic actuator, which behaves in essence as a series elastic actuator. By replacing the four-way servovalve used to control a typical pneumatic actuator with a pair of three-way valves, the stiffness of the series ...
متن کاملA Stiffness Estimator for Agonistic-Antagonistic Variable-Stiffness-Actuator Devices
Safe Physical Human Robot Interaction, conservation of energy and adaptability are just the main robotic applications that prompted the development of a number of Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA). Implemented in a variety of ways, they use various technologies, and feature the most diverse mechanical solutions, all of which share a fundamentally unavoidable nonlinear behavior. The control sch...
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 کاملVariable gearing in a biologically inspired pneumatic actuator array.
A fundamental feature of pennate muscles is that muscle fibers are oriented at an angle to the line of action and rotate as they shorten, becoming more oblique throughout a contraction. This change in fiber orientation (pennation angle) can amplify the shortening velocity of a fiber and increase output velocity of the muscle. The velocity advantage resulting from dynamic changes in pennation an...
