Fabrication Process for Twisting Artificial Muscles by Utilizing Braiding Technology and Water-Soluble Fibers

The McKibben artificial muscle is a pneumatic soft actuator consisting of a rubber tube, with fibers covering it. In this study, we propose a new fabrication process to easily realize twisting artificial muscles by utilizing braiding technology and water-soluble fibers based on the McKibben artifici
