Real Time Pressure Control in Pneumatic Actuators

Abstract:

This paper explains the design of real-time control system for drives which use a pneumatic artificial muscles. Described is the design of hardware and software equipment, as well as design of these components involvement in the experimental facility with artificial muscles. In this paper are referred experimental measurements on the device aimed at monitoring the changes in observed PAMs characteristics caused by pressure changes in artificial muscles during their operation.
