Power-Efficient Soft Pneumatic Actuator Using Spring-Frame Collateral Compression Mechanism

Abstract: With the ongoing research on soft robots, the performance of soft actuators needs to be enhanced for more wide robotic applications. Currently, most soft robots based on pneumatic actuation are capable of assisting small systems, but they are not fully suited for supporting joints requiring large force and range of motion. This is due to the actuation characteristics of the pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM); they are relatively slow, inefficient, and experience a significant force reduction when the PAM contra… Show more

“…The SPM distinguishes itself from other soft actuators by utilizing air pressure to induce deformations [ 38 ]. These artificial muscles can consist of one or more chambers within a single unit, offering a versatile range of motions, including linear extension, bending, contraction, and twisting actuation [ 33 , 39 ]. Smooth pneumatic muscles find applications in various domains, with a special focus on assistive and rehabilitation contexts [ 40 , 41 ].…”

“…Obtaining a kinematic or dynamic model for soft robots is often challenging in model-based control systems [ 38 , 47 ]. To overcome this limitation, learning techniques, including neural networks, have been employed to derive accurate kinematic or dynamic models for soft robots [ 33 , 39 ]. These techniques give researchers a deeper understanding of the soft robot’s behavior and enhance its control mechanisms.…”
