Soft pneumatic artificial muscles with low threshold pressures for a cardiac compression device
… fabrication and characterization of fully soft pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) with low threshold pressures that are intended for direct cardiac compression (DCC). McKibben type PAMs typically have a threshold pressure of at least lOOkPa and require rigid end fittings which may damage soft …

The development and characterization of soft robotic contractile actuators
… the development of a soft-robotic myocardium and pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) that replicate the physiological motion of the heart. We were able to generate physiological twisting motion in a confined geometry, but additional actuators would be required to generate physiological force for …

Aerodynamic Flow Control through Adapted Leading Edge Enabled by Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Actuators
… of a morphing leading-edge fairing actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). The compliant fairing, cast from Ecoflex® 00–31 silicone and embedded with a McKibben-type PAM actuator, was designed to dynamically reshape the junction surface and influence local flow behavior. Experiments …

The Exploration of KNN-based Neural Control of Pneumatically Actuated Artificial Muscle
… of a biomimetic actuator in the form of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs). KNN classification is a lightweight non-parametric learning algorithm that can rapidly identify and sort an input into pre-determined categories given initial training data sets. In this thesis, I present a …
