Bionic object with fin drive Design guide

PublishTime：2022-11-10

●The Fluidic Muscle is a Festo product basically consisting of a flexible hose made from rubber and embedded aramid fibres.When inflated with pressurized air, the Fluidic Muscle expands in diameter and at the same time contracts longitudinally.The artificial muscle releases an initial force of high magnitude and shows dynamic qualities similar to human muscles.Being light-weight,and combined with its high flexibility and functional versatility,the Fluidic Muscle is the ideal actuator for bionic applications such as the one described here.Accordingly, two muscles are sufficient to actuate the tail fin in an S-shaped pattern. Two additional muscles allow for steering,which makes the Airacuda fully manoeuvrable using a total of only four actuators.
