Actuators are the input and output devices that connect electronic, hydraulic or pneumatic control systems to their environment. They convert external forces or conditions, such as temperature, into a ...

Abstract: Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are essential in robotics systems designed to mimic the human musculoskeletal structure, particularly in applications for rehabilitation, due to their ...

Abstract: In this article, a position control strategy is proposed for a triple-joint pneumatic finger with angle sensors using a tendon-driven technique. Measurement noise from the angle sensors is ...

Actuators' dynamics have been so far mostly neglected when devising feedback controllers for continuum soft robots since the problem under the direct actuation hypothesis is already quite hard to ...
