...Xiangrong Shen; Daniel Christ This paper describes the design and control of a new chemomuscle actuation system for robotic systems, especially the mobile systems inspired by biological principles. Developed based on the pneumatic artificial muscle, a chemomuscle actuation system features a high...

...). The NMS generates the steering wheel angle demanded by the path-following controller. The model demonstrates that reflex action and muscle cocontraction improve the steer angle control and thus increase the path-following accuracy. Muscle cocontraction does not have the destabilizing effect of reflex...

...Andrew J. Pick; David J. Cole This paper is concerned with developing a method to measure a driver’s muscle activation strategy during driving, to enable validation of a mathematical model. Electromyography (EMG) was successfully used to measure driver muscle activity. Regression analysis...
