Abstract

The current equipment for generating of the rotational motion by antagonistic pneumatic muscle actuator is standardly solved with a circular pulley, on which a flexible strip is strung and its ends are connected with artificial muscles. However, in this solution, torque and stiffness of such actuator decrease with increasing rotation of the actuator arm. This is due to the nonlinear decrease of muscles forces according to their contraction. By application of the oval cam, a smaller decrease in torque and thus the greater and symmetrical stiffness of the actuator with pneumatic artificial muscles can be obtained.

Abstract

Pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) has the virtue of lightness, high power to weight ratio, small size, simple customization, easy fabrication, no stiction, inherent compliant behaviour and low cost. Hence, it has great potential as an actuator for hand rehabilitation device. Its stretchability and soft nature makes it easy to be mounted on curved surface and bend around corner. It is also able to produce very high forces over reasonable contraction. Here, we will present the use of PMA as a direct rotary actuator for hand rehabilitation glove. A model will be developed and verified experimentally for the PMA used in this configuration.
