Hydraulic artificial muscles offer superior performance compared to most pneumatic artificial muscles, but their suitability in multi-DOF robotics remains unverified. We fabricated a 7-DOF power soft robot spanning over 1.5 m using 29 McKibben hydraulic artificial muscles. We analyzed the proposed r
Soft robotics is a swiftly evolving field. Pneumatic actuators are suitable for driving soft robots because of their superior performance. However, their control is challenging due to the hysteresis characteristics. In response to this challenge, we propose an adaptive control method to compensate f
A method to improve quality of life of elderly people is to increase muscle strength. The purpose of this study is to develop a machine to improve muscle strength effectively. In this paper, we proposed a muscle strength training machine that exerts variable resistance using pneumatic artificial rub…
