    Abstract: An artificial muscle tentacle and method for manufacturing an artificial muscle tentacle, and a computer readable medium for controlling an artificial muscle tentacle are disclosed. The artificial muscle tentacle includes two spacers and a central core that connects the two spacers. The artificial muscle tentacle also includes at least two Z-Twist actuators and at least two S-Twist actuators. The Z-Twist actuators and the S-Twist actuators are disposed around the central core and in between the two spacers connecting the two spacers. The actuation of one or more of the Z-Twist actuators and the S-Twist actuators actuates the artificial muscle tentacle.

    IPC: A61F2/08

    Abstract: A carbon nanotube (CNT) artificial muscle valve includes a hollow CNT tube including: a plurality of CNT sheets wrapped in the form of a hollow tube; and a guest material disposed between the CNT sheets and that permeates the CNT sheets. At least one portion of the hollow CNT tube collapses in response to a pressure of a fluid in the hollow CNT tube exceeding a predetermined pressure. The at least one portion of the hollow CNT tube collapses because the at least one portion of the hollow CNT tube generates a torque non-uniformity relative of a remaining portion of the hollow CNT tube.

    Abstract: Methods, system, and apparatus for producing an actuator device are disclosed. The method may include twisting a muscle fiber; coiling the twisted muscle fiber about a mandrel; securing the muscle fiber onto the mandrel using a securing means; heating the muscle fiber to a predetermined temperature using a heating means; and removing the coiled muscle fiber from the mandrel. The twisting, coiling, securing, heating, and removing is a process that is continued until the muscle fiber is a desired length.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for manufacturing an apparatus for supplying a sweeping motion for a device such as a camera are disclosed. The apparatus includes a stationary rod and a rotational rod arranged parallel to the stationary rod at a fixed distance from the stationary rod. The apparatus includes a device disposed on the rotational rod and a plurality of linear artificial muscle actuators arranged between the stationary and rotational rods and perpendicular to central axes of the stationary and rotational rods. Actuation of a top-portion of the plurality of linear artificial muscle actuators rotates the rotational rod in a first direction, and an actuation of a bottom-portion of the plurality of linear artificial muscle actuators rotates the rotational rod in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
