Technical and Software Equipment for the Real Time Positioning Control System in Mechatronic Systems with Pneumatic Artificial Muscles

Abstract:

This paper explains the design of real-time control system for control of drives containing the artificial muscles. Described is the design of devices hardware and software, as well as design of their involvement in the experimental device. In this paper are referred experimental measurements on the device, aimed at monitoring the change in observed characteristics caused by position changes in artificial muscles during their operation.
