Abstract: In order to realize remote control of pneumatic muscle manipulator, the remote control system was designed based on a wireless transceiver nRF905 and C8051F020 microcontroller chip. And a multiple degrees of freedom pneumatic manipulator was built based on the structure and the activity of human arm characteristics. At the same time, the remote control system was acted on the pneumatic muscle robot prototype. At last, the control area of remote control system and the movement of pneumatic muscle manipulator joint were studied .The results indicate that using the remote control system of pneumatic manipulator, in the area of 700 m outdoor and 100 m indoor, it can be able to have remotely control better, and reliable operation.
Key words: pneumatic muscle; nRF905; manipulator; remote control
