Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Actuator

Project Overview

As a Researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Neurorehabilitation and Robotics Laboratory, I am designing and fabricating a McKibben pneumatic artificial muscle actuator for quadriceps assistance, targeting soft robotic rehabilitation applications for chronic stroke patients.

Key Contributions

• •Design and fabrication of a McKibben pneumatic artificial muscle actuator
• •Engineering of actuator geometry and materials for quadriceps assistance
• •Development targeted at soft robotic rehabilitation applications for chronic stroke patients

Research Impact

This work contributes to the development of soft, compliant actuators that can safely assist movement in rehabilitation settings. By advancing pneumatic artificial muscle technology for quadriceps support, this research aims to improve mobility and recovery outcomes for chronic stroke patients.

This research is ongoing.
