机器人人造肌肉是能够产生对机器人系统有用的生物启发运动的人造肌肉的子集，即，大功率重量比、固有顺应性和大运动范围。这些致动器，从形状记忆合金到介电弹性体，在仿生机器人中越来越受欢迎，因为它们可以在不使用复杂的连杆设计或其他笨重的机构的情况下操作。最近在制造，建模和控制方法方面的成就显着地促进了它们在广泛应用中的潜在利用。然而，没有调查文件已经深入到有关他们的选择，设计和使用产生仿生运动的考虑。在本文中，我们讨论了重要的特点和考虑因素的选择，设计和实施各种突出的和独特的机器人人工肌肉的仿生机器人，并提供下一代肌肉动力机器人的前景。
Robotic artificial muscles are a subset of artificial muscles that are capable of producing biologically inspired motions useful for robot systems, i.e., large power-to-weight ratios, inherent compliance, and large range of motions. These actuators, ranging from shape memory alloys to dielectric elastomers, are increasingly popular for biomimetic robots as they may operate without using complex linkage designs or other cumbersome mechanisms. Recent achievements in fabrication, modeling, and control methods have significantly contributed to their potential utilization in a wide range of applications. However, no survey paper has gone into depth regarding considerations pertaining to their selection, design, and usage in generating biomimetic motions. In this paper, we discuss important characteristics and considerations in the selection, design, and implementation of various prominent and unique robotic artificial muscles for biomimetic robots, and provide perspectives on next-generation muscle-powered robots.
