| dc.description.abstract | This project investigates the use of air muscle as an actuator for robot manipulators. Air muscles are soft pneumatic devices for ideally suited for robotics and animatronics. Air muscles contract when pressurized with gas air. Simple systems use a small air pump or compressor. The size of the air muscle and the air pressure determines the weight of the load it can pull when it contracts. For this work, simple robot manipulator has been created. Using some knowledge of engineering field, the procedures was developed in order to determine entire mechanism of air muscle movements. As an Aerospace Engineering student, these experience and knowledge is very useful in aircraft application especially because pneumatic power with its simplified and cleaner has found success in many industrial applications where there is a need for low cost, low-precision but high-power operation. Therefore, the mini-human-arm to show the mechanism of the movements has been fabricated. In order to achieve these goals, an experimental was carried out by different length of air muscle and different pressure has been applied to determine the behavior of air muscles with various loads. Therefore, a literature survey, a discussion of the theoretical and experimental that will work along with an outline for future have been selected to designed this work. | |
