Research and development of PMA in music robot

This paper presents the application of the pneumatic artificial muscle (PMA) in Hulusi musical robot. PMA is used to drive the robot fingers. Through the establishment of PMA´s static and dynamic test model to study and analyze the static and dynamic characteristics, the conclusions of static and dynamic properties and useful experiment parameters are achieved. The object of this paper is to grasp the working characteristics of the PMA and thus to provide valuable theoretic guidance for future applications in musical robot´s finger-driven. Also, we promote the research of new types of pneumatic muscle, as well as applications of bionic driving materials in Robot.
