Pneumatic control systems are used in various applications, including: A single acting cylinder (SAC) is a type of pneumatic actuator that produces force and movement in one direction only. It has a ...

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 environments where ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Basic Pneumatic Schematics and Circuit Design" provides an overview of different common pneumatic schematic symbols, including air treatment symbols; pressure, flow, and direction valve symbols; and ...

“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 ...

Rodney Law finds it surprising just how many people have ignored pneumatic power in the past when they designed their safety systems. “It’s a big part of the energy stored in a piece of equipment,” ...
