  • Electro-magnet based telescoping artificial muscle actuator
    Patent number: 8106544
    Abstract: The device described herein is an Electro-magnet based Telescoping Artificial Muscle Actuator. This device uses a centrally located electromagnet which acts on permanent magnets and ferrous components housed within telescoping sections of this device. This device is intended to be linked into chains with other identical devices, with those chains then linked into bundles. This arrangement allows devices of this type to simulate the action and control mechanisms of natural muscles. This device is intended for use in prosthetic, robotic, and implantable applications.
