The author presents a description of the design and operation of a patented artificial muscle for application in Dynamic Agile Animal Robots.Such robots,currently being developed by the Google-owned company,Boston Dynamics are being developed for applications in the military,for delivery robots,in manufacturing industry,for the movie industry and for personal aid robots.The muscle described here is called the "Slipping Friction Mechanism",or "SFM".It is an actuator that emulates the mechanism of biological skeletal muscle via slipping friction that emulates the force actuation between the long chain molecules of actin thin filaments and and myosin thick filaments in skeletal muscle sarcomeres.
