Design, analysis, and validation of an orderly recruitment valve for bio-inspired fluidic artificial muscles

Abstract: Biological musculature employs variable recruitment of muscle fibers from smaller to larger units as the load increases. This orderly recruitment strategy has certain physiological advantages like minimizing fatigue and providing finer motor control. Recently fluidic artificial muscles (FAM) are gaining popularity as actuators due to their increased efficiency by employing these bio-inspired recruitment strategies such as active variable recruitment (AVR). AVR systems use a multi-valve system (MVS) configurati… Show more

“…The FAMs within the bundle can be sequentially based on required load, allowing them to operate much closer to source pressure, increasing overall efficiency. This was first shown to be true for a bundle in quasistatic conditions [5], and was later shown in both dynamic simulation and experimental studies [6][7][8][9][10]. Variable recruitment studies have been performed for both pneumatic and hydraulic artificial muscles bundles, both of which offer certain advantages.…”

“…These thresholds are implemented in Meller et al and are chosen ad hoc based on system performance [7]. In Vemula et al, recruitment thresholds are used, but only to eliminate slack from MUs before they are recruited, not to provide additional force capabilities before a previously recruited MU reaches saturation [10].…”
