The rehabilitation joint is driven by pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs). Rehabilitation robot is normally composed of several rehabilitation joints. Fashoro This research focuses on the modeling of a pneumatic actuator that has characteristics more similar to human muscle than standard electric or . The difficulty of control, mainly due to the highly nonlinear structure, still keeps the pneumatic muscle actuator at the edge of interest of industrial manufacturers.

The utilization of pneumatic muscles , or, in other words of so-called compliant elements with specifically adjustable compliances offers the possibility to transmit.

Adding pneumatic muscles in combination with classic air springs allows to increase the lateral stability of a road or rail vehicle while keeping good comfort . The orthosis is actuated by artificial pneumatic muscles (sometimes called McKibben muscles or flexible pneumatic actuators). The artificial pneumatic muscles.

Abstract: This paper reports mechanical testing and mod- eling for the McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device first developed in the. In this paper, the static characteristics of pneumatic muscles are studied by means of theoretical modelling, numerical simulation and experimental verification. Abstract—Many papers exist in the literature dealing with the force function approximation for pneumatic artificial muscles. This thesis presents the theoretical and experimental study of pneumatic servo position control systems based on pneumatic muscle actuators.
