Soft-bodied robots are unlocking a new era of adaptive machines that can safely interact with the human body, squeeze through tight spaces, and propel themselves autonomously.
A Korean research team has developed a light-powered artificial muscle that operates freely underwater, paving the way for next-generation soft robotics.
Demonstrating 3 times greater actuation stroke and 2 times higher work capacity than existing photochemical actuators, the ...
A research team from the University of Coimbra has developed a soft phase change actuator for robots that uses the transition ...
However, the control and operation of these actuators were restricted by bulky, noisy, and vibrating pneumatic systems. This work introduces a pumpless pneumatic actuator design based on liquid–gas ...
ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India Limited is an India-based company, which is primarily engaged in the manufacturing of air brake actuation systems for commercial vehicles. The Company ...
While soft pneumatic actuators operate with positive pressure inflating their ... characterize the actuator and then implement a position and pressure cascade control system, designed with a fuzzy ...
"This hydrogel system demonstrates how simple UV exposure can program complex actuation behavior. It offers a promising strategy for developing next-generation soft robotics, artificial muscles ...
By employing a single syringe pump as the actuation mechanism, we address the challenge of coordinating multiple degrees of freedom in a compliant system. Our theoretical framework applies stable ...
