Abstract:
This paper presents a novel multifunctional pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) with bi-directional force and motion capabilities. PAM's are generally preferred due to their high power to weight ratio, light weight, ease of installation, hazard free use and inherent compliance To demonstrate the concept, a prototype of the bidirectional artificial muscle has been designed and developed. The prototype was characterized using a universal testing machine with an actuation pressure of 1 bar. Isometric and Isobaric experiments conducted on the
prototype show good force capacity and the unique bi-directional capability.
