Abstract
In this work, the mathematical model of a muscle-tendon used for the design of a rotator-type joint actuated
by artificial muscles is shown. Computer-aided design (CAD) allows evaluating and validating the most
convenient parameters for its construction; the integration of the CAD model with MATLAB allowed us to
obtain the values of the range of motion ±20◦ and a maximum torque of 6,0 kg-cm exerted on the axis of
rotation for the prototype.
