Presentation / Conference
Al-Ibadi, A., Nefti-Meziani, S., Davis, S., & Theodoridis, T. (2018, September). Design of two segments continuum robot arm based on pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA). Presented at 24th International Conference on Automation & Computing, Newcastle, UK

This paper proposes a novel continuum robot
arm based on the pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA). The
simple design of the extensor and the contractor PMAs are
used to implement the extension and the contraction sections respectively. Five actuators a... Read More about Design of two segments continuum robot arm based on pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA).
