Robot-assisted rehabilitation has become a new mainstream trend for the treatment of stroke
patients with movement disability. Pneumatic muscle (PM) is one of the most promising …

Dynamic behaviour of the pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) is conventionally modelled as a
pressure-based first-order equation under discrete loads, which cannot exactly describe its …

Soft robots, which are often considered safer than rigid robots when interacting with humans
due to the reduced risk of injury, have found utility in various medical and industrial fields …

This paper presents a feedforward compensation with cascaded control scheme (FFC) for
the positioning control of a vertical antagonistic based pneumatic muscle actuated (PMA) …

The pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is considered one of the most preferred actuators in a
variety of robotic and industrial applications. However, due to their inherent nonlinearities …

To solve the poor compliance and safety problems in current rehabilitation robots, a novel
two-degrees-of-freedom (2-DOF) soft ankle rehabilitation robot driven by pneumatic muscles …

Over the past decade, pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) has been in the limelight and
receiving much attention not only in the field of industrial application as well as in prominent …

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are a compelling actuator for physical human–robot
interaction (pHRI) due to their low mass, high-force capacity, and muscle-like characteristics …

Manipulators driven by soft actuators have gained their rightful place in recent times due to
inherently being compliant and light weighted. Thus, these actuators mostly suitable for …

The advantages of pneumatic system such as compactness, high power to weight ratio,
ease of maintenance, cleanliness and inherent safety led to the development of McKibben …
