Pneumatic muscles are bio-inspired actuation systems characterized by an adaptive compliant behaviour. The property of compliance deployed in the construction of robots underlies the development of human-friendly systems, capable of safe interaction with the human operator and/or user. The paper presents a compliant constructive solution based on pneumatic muscles designed for robotic manipulation systems used in rehabilitation activities of disabled persons. The discussion focuses on the construction and several performance related aspects of a bio-inspired rotation-translation system designed for manipulators mounted on the wheelchairs of persons with locomotor disabilities.
