Approximate Time: 60 min
Materials
- Small-sized McKibben Muscles: 3 pieces
- Wires: some
- Screws: 3
- Nut: 6
- Acrylic Leg Links: 3 sets
- Acrylic Body: 1 set
Tools and Equipments
- Screw Driver
- Pliers
- Syringes and tubing
- Pneumatic Valves and air compressor (optional)
Directions
1Make a leg
Make a connection between two leg links with a screw and two nuts. Make sure you have little clearance between first nut and the acrylic plate. Tightening second nut on the first nut makes locking effect. It’s become a knee joint.
5Tubing and Testing
Insert tubes into all three muscle. Supply pressured air to the muscles with syringes or air compressor. Pneumatic solenoid valves can be used to on/off control of the muscles.

Hi,
Great Video!
May I ask what is the model of the Pneumatic Valves used here? I could not find valves that are so compact.
Thanks!
