Design of Artificial Muscle for Robotics Area

The diploma thesis is structured with regard to the design and use of artificial muscle in robotics. The thesis starts with a theoretical section where different types of artificial muscles are described with their advantages and disadvantages. After considering all the types of described muscles, one species was selected for further processing. Vacuum-controlled origami muscles were chosen for use in a small manipulation device. After the design of the whole machine, the risk analysis and the economic evaluation of the whole design were carried out
