Abstract: The main objective of this research is to study best strategies and tools to planning a new model which aims to generate entrepreneurship and innovation in rural areas by engaging civil society. The case study is located one of the most sparsely populated areas of the Spanish territory where, despite the achievements and efforts of European, national, regional and local policies, depopulation problems, aging and lack of opportunities remain a reality. In this context the recognition of entrepreneurship and innovation in public policy is growing as key element for building and consolidating economic growth, promoting diversification and competitiveness. But otherwise, the development concept implies independence and requires of new approaches less dependent on public support, with action mechanisms that should be more flexible and tailored to local needs. As a result of the research literature up to date, a new model is designed and implemented that focuses on entrepreneurship and innov

Abstract: Pneumatic artificial Muscles (PAMs) are, nowadays, widely used in factory floor automation as well as in robotics. One of the major appeals about PAMS is the high force to weight ratio as well as their light weight, structural flexibility. Furthermore, PAMS do not exhibit any mechanical wear they are relatively low in cost. However PAMs are known to exhibit hysteresis nonlinearities between the input pressure and the output force as well as the contraction ratio and the input pressure. Such nonlinearities are known to cause oscillations in the open-loop system’s responses, as well as poor tracking performance and potential instabilities. This work reviews the some of the available models used to simulate the hysteresis nonlinearities in PAMs which will facilitate to study the effects of these nonlinearities in order to characterize and to enable the design of controllers for compensating for the hysteresis effects
