Title:
ARTIFICIAL MUSCLE ACTUATOR DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/239634
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an artificial muscle actuator device that can be structured to suit the muscles of the body and that has a versatile structure that can be applied as a device responsible for the motion function of a robot, due to a small, electric-power-conserving motive power source that pairs balloon inflation and deflation and eliminates hydraulic pressure loss. The solution is an artificial muscle actuator device (1) in which an actuator unit (2) and a first artificial muscle unit (11) are connected by a first linking tube (8), the actuator unit (2) and a second artificial muscle unit (12) are connected by a second linking tube (9), the first artificial muscle unit (11) and the second artificial muscle unit (12) are attached to a body site (54), and the actuator unit (2) is controlled by current conduction, so as to perform flexion and extension movements of a skeleton (50) at the body site (54).
