This Video is about a project in Automation Control and Industrial Automation (ACIA) Lab at Damascus University:
Design of EMG Acquisition Circuit to Control an Antagonistic Mechanism Actuated by Pneumatic Artificial Muscles PAMs.‏

Abstract of the article:
A pneumatically actuated antagonistic pair of muscles with joint mechanism (APMM) is supported and developed to be essential for bionic and biomimetic applications to emulate the biological muscles by realizing various kinds of locomotion based on normal electrical activity of biological muscles. This Paper aims to compare the response of antagonistic pairs of muscles mechanism (APMM) based on the pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) to an EMG signal that was acquired throw a designed circuit and an EMG Laboratory acquisition kit. The response is represented as a joint rotary displacement generated by the contraction and extension of the pneumatic artificial muscles. A statistical study was done to prove the efficiency of the designed circuit the response of antagonistic pairs of muscles mechanism. The statistical result showed that there is no significant difference of voltage data in both EMG acquired signal between reference kit and designed circuit. An excellent correlation behaviour between the EMG control signal and the response of APMM as an angular displacement has been discussed and statistically analyzed.
