An artificial flexible robot arm based on pneumatic muscle actuators

The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel human-friendly artificial flexible robot arm using four parallel-connected pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs). The PMA is a flexible silicone rubber actuator which has some behaviors nearest to the real biological muscle including translational and rota...
