Abstract
A poly vinyl chloride (PVC) gel actuator shows great potential for use as an artificial muscle because of such positive characteristics as movement in the air, large deformation, and being lightweight. We have proposed structure of a contraction type actuator to construct an artificial muscle [3]-[5]. PVC Gel Artificial Muscle uses the plasticized PVC and mesh type electrodes "PGAM" for short. In this study, we investigated a mathematical model of electronic and dynamic characteristics of PGAM to apply it as a control element.
