This paper describes the design and control of a compact and flexible pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) actuation system for bio-robotic systems. The entire paper is divided into two parts, with the first part covering the mechanism design and the second part covering the corresponding controller design. This novel system presented in this part incorporates two new features, including a variable-radius pulley based PAM actuation mechanism, and a spring-return mechanism to replace the PAM in the “weak” direction. With the pulley radius as a function of the joint angle, this new feature enables the designer to freely modulate the shape of the torque curve, and thus achieves a significantly higher flexibility than the traditional configuration. The other new feature, the spring-return mechanism, is inspired by the fact that a large number of bio-robotic systems require a significantly larger torque in one direction than the other.

This paper describes the mechanical design and control approach for an above-knee (AK) prosthesis actuated by pneumatic artificial muscle. Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) affords great potential in prosthetics, since this type of actuator features a high power density, and similar characteristics to human muscles. However, there is no application of PAM in AK prosthetics in existing literature to the best knowledge of the authors. In this paper, a design of the prosthesis is presented, which provides sufficient actuation torque for the knee joint in energy consuming locomotive functions such as fast walking and stair climbing. The corresponding control approach is also presented, which combines an impedance-based locomotive controller with a lower-level sliding-mode torque control approach. Experiments on the proposed AK prosthesis have also been conducted to demonstrate the ability to mimic normal gait characteristics.

And Control

Most robots that are actuated by antagonistic pneumatic artificial muscles are controlled by various control algorithms that cannot adequately imitate the actual muscle distribution of human limbs. Other robots in which the distribution of pneumatic artificial muscle is similar to that of human limbs can only analyze the position of the robot using perceptual data instead of rational knowledge. In order to better imitate the movement of a human limb, the article proposes a humanoid lower limb in the form of a parallel mechanism where muscle is unevenly distributed. Next, the kinematic and dynamic movements of bionic hip joint are analyzed, where the joint movement is controlled by an observer-based fuzzy adaptive control algorithm as a whole rather than each individual pneumatic artificial muscle and parameters that are optimized by a neural network. Finally, experimental results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. We also document the role of muscle in trajectory tracking for the piriformis and musculi obturator internus in isobaric processes.
