PROTOTYPE OF A HUMAN UPPER LIMB DRIVEN BY PNEUMATIC MUSCLES
Keywords:
Pneumatic Muscle, Upper Limb Assistive Technology, Biomechatronics DesignAbstract
The following document shows in detail the process of design, construction and operation by applying a mechatronic system to an arm operated with pneumatic muscles. The arm has 3 degrees of freedom through which movements of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction are mainly generated, which will be described inside the document. The prototype designed implements a mechanical, electronic development and control interface.
