Pneumatic actuation harnesses compressed air to generate mechanical force and motion with inherent compliance, high power density and rapid response. Traditional pneumatic cylinders remain ubiquitous ...

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 ...

As with nearly any actuation technology in industrial automation applications, there is no shortage of opinions around the use of electric or pneumatic motion control. These predilections tend to get ...
