artificial muscles
Lets start with a McKibben artificial muscle which consists of a rope that is braided around a **hollow tube. When you pressurize the fluid (air or water) in the tube, the braided structure amplifies the movement. In most DIY examples, we see these made by simply buying a pre-made braided hollow cord and shoving a hollow tube down the center of it.
