Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are artificial devices that can simulate the mechanics of human muscles, and have shown great promise in industries requiring human-robot interaction systems.

Researchers have presented a class of muscle-fiber-array-inspired pneumatic artificial muscles (MAIPAMs) consisting of active 3D elastomer-balloon arrays reinforced by a passive 2D elastomer membrane, ...

We've been hearing a lot about "artificial muscles," which allow robotic devices or prosthetic limbs to perform human-like motions. And while most of them have been produced in labs utilizing ...

This action causes the air within the pouch to be squeezed out, going through the tube and into an attached pneumatic muscle, thus expanding it. Once the electrical current is shut off, the pouch ...

Biological organisms (such as elephant trunks, octopus tentacles, and human tongues) show remarkable dexterity and self-adaptation in unstructured environments, relying on the multiple-mode actuations ...
