Pneumatic Artificial Muscle as Actuator in Mechatronic System

Abstract:

The paper describes basic characteristics of pneumatic artificial muscles (PAM) for using as actuator in mechatronic system. The previous parameters research of individually connected artificial muscles shows, that it is significantly nonlinear system with time delay. Availing these results, problem of using of static and dynamic characteristics of PAMs for control and modeling electropneumatic mechatronic systems based on the artificial muscles occurs. To solve this problems, the paper also deals with design of some models.
