Abstract EN
The construction of artificial muscles is one of the most challenging developments in today’s biomedical science.
The application of artificial muscles is focused both on the construction of orthotics and prosthetics for rehabilitation and prevention purposes and on building humanoid walking machines for robotics research.
Research in biomechanics tries to explain the functioning and design of real biological muscles and therefore lays the fundament for the development of functional artificial muscles.
Recently, the hyperbolic Hill-type force-velocity relation was derived from simple mechanical components.
In this contribution, this theoretical yet biomechanical model is transferred to a numerical model and applied for presenting a proof-of-concept of a functional artificial muscle.
Additionally, this validated theoretical model is used to determine force-velocity relations of different animal species that are based on the literature data from biological experiments.
Moreover, it is shown that an antagonistic muscle actuator can help in stabilising a single inverted pendulum model in favour of a control approach using a linear torque generator.
