Journal ArticleDOI
Control of pneumatic muscle actuators
TL;DR: In this paper, a new high power/weight and power/volume braided pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) has been developed with considerable power output potential, combined with controllable motion and inherent compliance to prevent damage to handled objects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Liverpool Telescope as discussed by the authors is a 2.0m robotic telescope that is operating unattended at the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos, Spain, where it has been used for science observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics for variable length multisection continuum arms
Isuru S. Godage,Gustavo A. Medrano-Cerda,David T. Branson,Emanuele Guglielmino,Darwin G. Caldwell +4 more
TL;DR: Novel spatial dynamics is introduced and an efficient recursive computational scheme for deriving the equations of motion is presented based on structurally accurate and numerically well-posed modal kinematics that assumes circular arc deformation of continuum sections without torsion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Braided pneumatic actuator control of a multi-jointed manipulator
TL;DR: The design of a dexterous manipulation with three fingers and an opposal thumb powered by 18 new compact braided pneumatic muscle actuators (PMA) have considerable power output potential, combined with controllable motion and inherent compliance to prevent damage to handled objects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Adaptive position control of antagonistic pneumatic muscle actuators
TL;DR: This paper considers the development of an adaptive controller for bi-muscular PMA system via adaptive pole-placement controllers and results indicate that accurate position control /spl plusmn/2/spl deg/ is feasible, with power/weight outputs in excess of 1 kW/kg at 250 kPa being possible.
