Figure 2

Physical representation of PAM-based actuator with modeled parts being shown in grey color (in the scheme, is compressor pressure [Pa], is volume flow rate [m3s−1], is muscle pressure [Pa], is muscle volume [m3], is muscle length [m], is muscle velocity [ms−1], is muscle acceleration [ms−2], is muscle index, is joint angle [deg], is joint angular velocity [rads−1], and is joint angular acceleration [rads−2]).
