Pneumatic artificial muscles have unique advantages such as high compliance, high ratio of power to mass, and easy manufacturing. These advantages are different characteristics from electric motors and hydraulic actuators, therefore pneumatic artificial muscles are expected to be applied to new robotic systems such as muscle suits and exploration robots. On the other hand, they require an air compressor,...
Compressors and air hoses limit the mobility of mobile robots and the use of pneumatic actuators such that small pneumatic actuators, which can be driven without compressors, are strongly desired. We have been developing a new hose-free pneumatic actuator based on reversible gas/liquid chemical reactions. This novel pneumatic actuator neither requires compressors nor air hoses for its source of power...
