A Versatile Pneumatic Actuator Based on Scissor Mechanisms: Design, Modeling, and Experiments

A new versatile pneumatic actuator called a scissor-mechanism-based vacuum powered artificial muscle (SMVAM) is proposed in this letter. The actuator is composed of a soft airtight skin and a scissor structural skeleton, and based on the types of scissor units in the skeleton, the actuator can be de
