Development of the Ultralight Hybrid Pneumatic Artificial Muscle: Modelling and optimization.
PloS one
Apr 22, 2021
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are one of the key technologies in soft robotics, and they enable actuation in mobile robots, in wearable devices and exoskeletons for assistive and rehabilitative purposes. While they recently showed relevant impr...
Evidence of vascular endothelial dysfunction in Wooden Breast disorder in chickens: Insights through gene expression analysis, ultra-structural evaluation and supervised machine learning methods.
PloS one
Jan 4, 2021
Several gene expression studies have been previously conducted to characterize molecular basis of Wooden Breast myopathy in commercial broiler chickens. These studies have generally used a limited sample size and relied on a binary disease outcome (u...
Characteristic Analysis and Design Optimization of Bubble Artificial Muscles.
Soft robotics
Jun 17, 2020
Soft robotics requires new actuators and artificial muscles that are lighter, less expensive, and more effective than current technologies. Recently developed bubble artificial muscles (BAMs) are lightweight, flexible, inexpensive, pneumatic actuator...
A Coupled FEM-SPH Modeling Technique to Investigate the Contractility of Biohybrid Thin Films.
Advanced biosystems
Jun 9, 2020
Biohybrid actuators have the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional actuators employed in robotics, thanks to the unique features of living contractile muscle cells, which can be used to power artificial elements. This paper describes a...
Ratchet-integrated pneumatic actuator (RIPA): a large-stroke soft linear actuator inspired by sarcomere muscle contraction.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mar 25, 2020
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) have a wide range of robotics applications, especially in soft robots, for their ability to generate linear force and displacement with the soft, lightweight, compact, and safe characteristics as well as high power...
Novel Bending and Helical Extensile/Contractile Pneumatic Artificial Muscles Inspired by Elephant Trunk.
Soft robotics
Mar 4, 2020
Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are an extensively investigated type of soft actuator. However, the PAM motions have been limited somewhat to uniaxial contraction and extension, restraining the development of PAMs. Given the current strong intere...
Recurrent Braiding of Thin McKibben Muscles to Overcome Their Limitation of Contraction.
Soft robotics
Nov 7, 2019
This study presents a novel idea of rebraiding thin McKibben muscles to overcome their limitation of contraction. The thin McKibben muscles, presented in the authors' previous work, have the flexibility that allows them to be braided. According to th...
Neuromuscular actuation of biohybrid motile bots.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Sep 16, 2019
The integration of muscle cells with soft robotics in recent years has led to the development of biohybrid machines capable of untethered locomotion. A major frontier that currently remains unexplored is neuronal actuation and control of such muscle-...
Design and Feasibility Study of a Leg-exoskeleton Assistive Wheelchair Robot with Tests on Gluteus Medius Muscles.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jan 28, 2019
The muscles of the lower limbs directly influence leg motion, therefore, lower limb muscle exercise is important for persons living with lower limb disabilities. This paper presents a medical assistive robot with leg exoskeletons for locomotion and l...
Realizing the potential of dielectric elastomer artificial muscles.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Jan 24, 2019
Soft robotics represents a new set of technologies aimed at operating in natural environments and near the human body. To interact with their environment, soft robots require artificial muscles to actuate movement. These artificial muscles need to be...
