DOI: 10.1109/lra.2021.3130627
Abstract: McKibben artificial muscles, comprised of an expandable bladder wrapped in a double-helix-braided sheath, have the ability to generate forces without restricting motion to occur exclusively along the direction of actuation. This makes them attractive for… read more here.
