Journal Article
Pneumatic artificial muscles: actuators for robotics and automation
Frank Daerden,Dirk Lefeber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of pneumatic actuators made mainly of a flexible and inflatable membrane is given, and the properties of these actuators are given, the most important of which are the compliant behavior and extremely low weight.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Concept and Design of Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
Frank Daerden,Dirk Lefeber +1 more
TL;DR: The Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PPAM) as mentioned in this paper was developed as an improvement with regard to existing types of PAM, e.g. the McKibben muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pneumatic Biped “Lucy” Actuated with Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles
TL;DR: This paper reports on the bipedal robot Lucy which is actuated by pleated pneumatic artificial muscles which is very suitable to be used in machines which move by means of legs because of its high power to weight ratio and adaptable passive behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proxy-based Sliding Mode Control of a Planar Pneumatic Manipulator
Michael Van Damme,Bram Vanderborght,Bjorn Verrelst,Ronald Van Ham,Frank Daerden,Dirk Lefeber +5 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the safe control of a two-degree-of-freedom planar manipulator actuated by Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles, and finds that in spite of the hardware safety features, the system is unsafe when under PID control.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Pleated pneumatic artificial muscles: actuators for automation and robotics
TL;DR: The pleated pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) as mentioned in this paper was developed at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and it has a very high contraction force and an equally high travel.
