Traditional actuation system such as electric and pneumatic actuator has obvious advantages and disadvantages. To combine advantages and compensate disadvantages of the traditional actuation, a pneumatic actuation system with an internal air pressure source is noteworthy approach. In this paper, a soft pneumatic actuation system based on origami pump is described for haptic feedback glove. To improve wearability, an origami pump is introduced because the origami pump is much lighter than air compressor. The miniaturized electric actuation system is also designed with 3D printed planetary gear in order to reduce the volume of the system. To figure out the performance of the system, shrinkage distance of origami pump was measured with vision camera. The pressure in the origami pump was also estimated to understand the performance of the system.

The real-time simulator of a pneumatic actuation system that is composed of differential PWM signal generator, charge solenoid valve, discharge solenoid valve, actuator, load, and rotational potentiometer is developed using a DSP board and a PC. The simulator receives the control signals from the external controller through the A/D converter, updates the state and output variables of the Pneumatic actuation system responding to the input signals every sampling time, and sends out the output signals through the D/A converter in real time. The user can observe the displacements, velocities, pressures, and mass flows representing the operation of pneumatic actuation system through the PC monitor in real time. Also the user can see the moving images between the pistons and rotating arm realistically in real time. The accuracy of the real-time simulator is verified by the good agreement of the real-time simulation results and the experimental results of the pneumatic actuation system.

This paper describes the design and development of a PWM electronic controller for a high performance Pneumatic Actuation System. The task includes the design of a closed center valve circuit for minimum gas consumption, the selection of optimum values for key parameters in the PWM circuit, and the design of lag-lead compensation circuit. These were carried out through specific experiments using a prototype pneumatic actuation system. The final performance obtained with the actuation system confirmed the successful design of the developed PWM electronic controller.

A cold gas blow-down hydraulic actuation system is widely used in missiles that require an actuation system with a fast response time under a limited space with a short operating time and large loads on the actuators. The system consists of a pneumatic part that supplies the regulated high-pressure gas to a reservoir, and a hydraulic part that supplies pressurized hydraulic oil to the actuators by the pressurized gas in the reservoir. This paper proposes a mathematical model to analyze and simulate the pneumatic part of an actuation system that supplies the operating power to the actuators. The mathematical model is based on the ideal gas equation and also considers the models for heat transfer. The model is applied to the pressure vessel and the gas part of the reservoir, and the model for the pneumatic part is established by connecting the two models for the parts. The model is validated through a comparison of the simulation results with the experimental results. The comparison shows that the suggested model could be useful in the design of the pneumatic part of a cold gas blow-down type hydraulic actuation system.

This paper presents a frequency-response test performed on an antagonistic actuation system consisting of two Mckibben pneumatic artificial muscles and a pneumatic circuit. A linear model, capable of estimating the dynamic characteristics of the antagonistic system in the operating range of pneumatic artificial muscles, was optimally calculated based on frequency-response results and applied to a multiple simultaneous specification control scheme. Trajectory tracking results showed that the presented multiple simultaneous specification controller, built experimentally by three PD typed sample controllers, satisfied successfully all required control specifications; rising time, maximum overshoot, steady-state error.

This paper presents dynamic characteristics of pneumatic artificial muscles. Since the actuating performance of a pneumatic muscle is closely related to the input pressure of a pneumatic muscle, the air flow model on a valve orifice and an elastic bladder of the muscle is formulated to estimate precisely the pressure variance of pneumatic muscles during deflating and inflating process. Frequency response experiments are performed with an antagonistic system consisting of two pneumatic muscles and fast pneumatic control valves. Comparing with experimental results, the proposed model yielded good performance in estimating dynamic motions of the antagonistic system as well as the pressure variance of the pneumatic artificial muscles

본 연구에서는 공압형 인공근육으로 이루어진 회전관절의 동적 특성을 파악하기 위해서 두 개의 공압형 인공근육으로 이루어진 상극구동 시스템의 주파수 응답특성실험을 수행하였다. 인공근육의 작동범위에서 수행한 주파수 응답결과에 최적으로 근사할 수 있는 선형모델을 추정하고 이를 이용하여 회전관절의 움직임을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 모델에 기초한 제어법칙을 제시하였다. 사각파, 정현파 기준궤적에 대한 회전관절의 추종실험을 수행한 결과 선형 추정모델에 의한 보상효과와 피드벡 이득에 의한 추종오차 제거효과를 통해서 우수한 궤적 추정성능을 보였다.

Recently, Pneumatic Actuation System (PAS) has been used increasingly as a high performance fin-control servo actuation systems because of the special advantages of pneumatic units: primarily their low cost, small size, light weight, and tolerance to broad temperature extremes. In this study, a nonlinear model of PAS is derived through the detailed analysis of the major components in the typical system. The model includes nonlinear flow-pressure relationships of the flow through the solenoid valve openings and orifices, PWM algorithm for driving two solenoid valves as a closed-center 3-way valve for minimum gas consumption, solenoid valve dynamics, saturation, and friction. Simulation results are compared with the experimental ones for square and sinusoidal inputs to see the validity of the model. Independent of the shape and magnitude of the input signals, both results are in good agreements with minor difference.
