Development of a SMA-Fishing-Line-McKibben Bending Actuator

High power-to-weight ratio soft artificial muscles are of overarching importance to enable inherently safer solutions to human-robot interaction. Traditional air-driven soft McKibben artificial muscles are linear actuators, and it is impossible for them to realize bending motions through use of a si...
