A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “Basic Pneumatic Circuits”, which discusses common pneumatic circuits that can be used alone or as building blocks in larger pneumatics ...

HOUSTON – (Sept. 28, 2022) – Add analog and air-driven to the list of control system options for soft robots. In a study published online this week, robotics researchers, engineers and materials ...

(Nanowerk News) In the future, soft robots will be able to perform tasks that cannot be done by conventional robots. These soft robots could be used in terrain that is difficult to access and in ...

“Part of the beauty of this system is that we're really able to reduce computation down to its base components,” said Rice undergraduate Colter Decker, lead author of the study. He said electronic ...

Robotics researchers, engineers and materials scientists showed it is possible to make programmable, nonelectronic circuits that control the actions of soft robots by processing information encoded in ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Today’s manufacturers routinely demand exacting precision and split-second timing from their high-speed production ...
