Control of Pneumatic Artificial Muscles Using Local Cyclic Inputs and Genetic Algorithm

Recently, lightweight and flexible soft actuators have attracted interest from robotics researchers. We focused on pneumatic rubber artificial muscle (PAM) as a high-output soft actuator. The high compliance of PAM allows a robot to adapt flexibly to the environment without many external sensors. Al...
