Thanks There is an excellent chapter by Blake Hannaford and Jack Winters in Multiple Muscle Systems: Biomechanics and Movement Organization, J.M. Winters and S.L.-Y. Woo, eds., 1990 Springer-Verlag. They compare and contrast the properties of muscle with a variety of other actuators. They also describe some commercially available actuators which are designed to be "muscle-like." As pointed out by Doug Wilkie, however, there is no artificial actuator which has the unusual characteristic of muscle that it is also good to eat! :-) --- Frank Tendick (415)642-5309 486 Minor Hall frank@opus.berkeley.edu University of California Berkeley, CA 94720
