    摘要: One example of an actuation system (100) includes a pneumatic muscle (102, 104) connected to a component (106) to be actuated. The system also includes an actuation member connected in series to the pneumatic muscle (102, 104) and valve (108) connected to the pneumatic muscle (102, 104) to control a pressure in the pneumatic muscle (102, 104). The system also includes a positioning mechanism (116) connected to the component (106) to control a movement of the component (106) and a controller (110) connected to the pneumatic muscle (102, 104), the valve (108), and the positioning mechanism (116), the controller (110) to control actuation of the component (106) by controlling the pressure in the pneumatic muscle (102, 104).

    摘要: A control element (1310) has at least one elastic internal part (1332) that can be connected, via a connection, to a pressurized fluid source and/or a vacuum source, which permits pressurization or evacuation of a cavity in the internal part (1332). In order to provide a control member for general use, it is proposed that the elasticity module of a wall (1328) bounding the internal part (1332) is formed differently in certain sections such that, instead of a homogeneous increase or decrease in volume under pressurization or evacuation, an oriented change in shape takes place, between a resting state and a pressurized or evacuated state, that describes a control path of the control element (1310).

    摘要: A soft composite actuator is described, including a first elastomeric layer; a strain limiting layer; and a first radially constraining layer, wherein the first elastomeric layer is disposed between the first radially constraining layer and the strain limiting layer; and the elastomeric layer, the strain limiting layer, and the radially constraining layer are bonded together to form at least one bladder for holding pressurized fluid. Methods of using and making of the soft composite actuator are described.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the disclosed subject matter includes a laminated robotic actuator. The laminated robotic actuator includes a strain-limiting layer comprising a flexible, non-extensible material in the form of a sheet or thin film, a flexible inflatable layer in the form of a thin film or sheet in facing relationship with the strain-limiting layer, wherein the inflatable layer is selectively adhered to the strain-limiting layer, and wherein a portion of an un-adhered region between the strain-limiting layer and the inflatable layer defines a pressurizable channel, and at least one fluid inlet in fluid communication with the pressurizable channel. The first flexible non-extensible material has a stiffness that is greater than the stiffness of the second flexible elastomeric material and the flexible elastomer is non-extensible under actuation conditions.
