Mechanism Simulation and Optimal Design of Five-Link Bionic Joint Driven by Two Antagonistic Pneumatic Muscles

The five-link parallel mechanism is proposed to improve joint bionic performance, and the kinematics is established for the closed chain joint actuated by two antagonistic artificial pneumatic muscles (PMs). Interference and singularity constraints are analyzed, and the joint torque model is given b...
