This letter presents a novel concept of braiding thin McKibben muscles to improve their contracting ability compared to original muscles. Whereas a single original muscle and the conventional bundled muscle had a contracting ratio of 28%, braiding the muscles realized a contracting ratio of 37%. We designed, fabricated, and tested several prototypes with different braiding parameters, and demonstr... |
