Pneumatic Muscle Actuated Rotation-Translation System

Abstract:

Mounting robot arms on wheelchairs has been identified as means of allowing persons with locomotor disabilities to conduct certain tasks autonomously. The paper presents an innovative solution of a pneumatic muscle actuated rotation-translation system, as an improved alternative to the vast majority of electrically actuated robot arms. This system acts as an interface between the wheelchair and the actual arm, and its light and compliant constructions ensures impact safety in the immediate vicinity of humans or in narrow working spaces.
