The pneumatic artificial muscle is a kind of actuator composed of a flexible membrane with fittings at both ends. While pneumatic muscles have many advantages over conventional actuators, having a high power / weight ratio is one of the most important of these advantages. As a working principle, with the effect of the gas pressure, in response to the expansion in the radial direction, an axial shortening occurs, so that a pulling force emerges in the axial direction. In this review study, pneumatic muscles were defined and their historical development was mentioned, then the working principle was explained and static equations were tried to be explained. In the following sections, the types of pneumatic muscles are also mentioned, their advantages and disadvantages are also examined. Finally, the use areas of pneumatic artificial muscles are mentioned and examples of application for biorobit, medical, industrial, aerospace and other fields are mentioned and the work done in the result section is summarized
