For the practical application of bio-actuators, it is desired to develop a precise control method for skeletal muscles. In this study, a novel model-based control method has been proposed. The control method enables skeletal muscles to exert an arbit...
Valid approaches for interfacing with and deciphering neural commands related to movement are critical to understanding muscular coordination and developing viable prostheses and wearable robotics. While electromyography (EMG) has been an established...
To make robots more human-like and safer to use around humans, artificial muscles exhibiting compliance have gained significant attention from researchers. However, despite having excellent performance, pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have failed...

OBJECTIVE: To develop an artificial neural network (ANN) for classification of motor unit action potential (MUAP) duration in real-word, unselected and uncleaned needle electromyography (n-EMG) recordings.
Optical stimulation and control of muscle cell contraction opens up a number of interesting applications in hybrid robotic and medicine. Here we show that recently designed molecular phototransducer can be used to stimulate C2C12 skeletal muscle cell...
