Abstract
This paper reports mechanical testing and modeling results for the McKibben
artificial muscle pneumatic actuator. This device first developed in the
1950's contains an expanding tube surrounded by braided cords. We report static
and dynamic length-tension testing results and derive a linearized model of
these properties for three different models. The results are briefly compared
with human muscle properties to evaluate the suitability of McKibben actuators
for human muscle emulation in biologically based robot arms.
