Wearable Master-Slave Training Device for Lower Limb Constructed with Pneumatic Rubber Artificial Muscles
The purpose of this study is to develop a wearable master-slave lower limb training device for a trainer and a trainee. The developed device is constructed with McKibben type rubber artiåcial muscles and an appliance, a torque sensor. In addition, to prevent applying an excessive torque to the trainee, a reaction torque from the trainee can be transmitted to the trainer by a bilateral type mast...
متن کاملImplementation of a Variable Stiffness Joint Based on the Twisted String Actuators
In this paper, the modeling and the control of a variable stiffness joint actuated by a couple of twisted string actuators in antagonistic configuration is reported. The twisted string actuation system is particularly suitable for very compact and light-weight robotic devices, like artificial hands and arms, and renders a very low apparent inertia at the load side, allowing the implementation o...
متن کاملLinear artificial molecular muscles.
Two switchable, palindromically constituted bistable [3]rotaxanes have been designed and synthesized with a pair of mechanically mobile rings encircling a single dumbbell. These designs are reminiscent of a "molecular muscle" for the purposes of amplifying and harnessing molecular mechanical motions. The location of the two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) rings can be controlled to b...
متن کاملFuel-powered artificial muscles.
Artificial muscles and electric motors found in autonomous robots and prosthetic limbs are typically battery-powered, which severely restricts the duration of their performance and can necessitate long inactivity during battery recharge. To help solve these problems, we demonstrated two types of artificial muscles that convert the chemical energy of high-energy-density fuels to mechanical energ...
متن کاملPneumatic Artificial Muscles
This paper reports mechanical tasting and modeling results for the McKibben artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device, first developed in the 1950’s, contains an expanding tube surrounded by braided cords. We report static and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a linearized model of these properties for three different models. The results are brieffy compared with human m...
