Abstract :
In this paper a mathematical model of Pneumatic Muscle Actuator (pMA) is developed and verified. The focus is put on thermodynamical behavior of pMA during charging and discharging process. Problems with selection of temperature sensor are discussed and evaluation of a mathematical model is done.
