A rehabilitation robot plays an important role in relieving the therapists' burden and helping
patients with ankle injuries to perform more accurate and effective rehabilitation training …

This paper presents a discrete-time adaptive parameter integral sliding mode controller to
improve the trajectory tracking performance of two pneumatic artificial muscles in an …

Recently, pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs), a lightweight and high-compliant actuator,
have been increasingly used in assistive rehabilitation robots. PAM-based applications must …

Inspired by nature, many types of artificial muscles or actuators have been developed for
mechatronic systems. Twisted and coiled polymer (TCP) muscles are some examples that …

Background: High-performance position control of pneumatic artificial muscles is limited by
their inherent nonlinearity and hysteresis. Objective: This study aims to model the …

In this paper, we present an effective position tracking control approach based on robust
time-delay nonlinear (RTN) technique for a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) system. Due to …
