Gain knowledge of selected properties of artificial muscles using tools of Matlab

Abstract

In many industries where automation and robotics is used artificial muscles are used. Analyses of their properties give a precondition for the most efficient use in this area. It is therefore important for students to have the opportunities to observe and analyse their characteristics. The aim of this contribution will be to design the user interface to simulate selected properties of artificial muscles. Matlab with its powerful simulation tools will be used there.
