Actuation of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle via Hydrogen Absorption/Desorption of Metal Hydride-LaNi

This paper presents experimental studies on mechanical actuations of a pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM), which is driven by hydrogen gas based metal hydride (MH). The dynamic performances of hydrogen absorption/desorption, taking place within a MH reactor, are controlled via implementing cooling/he...
