An eight-bit pneumatic RAM chip used to help a soft robot control its movements. The chip uses microfluidic valves to control airflow instead of electronic transistors.

Conventional robots, like those used in industry and hazardous environments, are easy to model and control, but are too rigid ...

Soft Robotics new coDrive system for robotic grippers doesn’t require connection to factory compressed air systems. The mGrip gripper is designed for collaborative robotic applications such as ...

Disney's new robot uses a hydrostatic transmission that combines hydraulic and air lines, providing more degrees of freedom as well as greater precision and delicacy of touch.

In an office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, or MIT CSAIL, a soft robotic hand curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The ...

[Tazer] built a small desktop-sized robotic arm, and it was more or less functional. However, he wanted to improve its ability to pick things up, and attaching a pneumatic gripper seemed like the p… ...

Here’s the latest entry in “future robot overlord watch”. Each stick is driven by a pneumatic cylinder. The control is generated using a midi file as the source. The system is completely ...

A research team at MIT has introduced a new method for controlling soft, flexible robots using just a single image—without relying on complex sensors or detailed modeling. The approach, recently ...

But because that dance is powered purely by the robot's internal pneumatic system, the Harvard researchers - writing in the journal Nature - say their system marks a key step forward for soft ...

The research paper, published on Mar. 19, 2025 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, proposes an earthworm-inspired multimodal pneumatic continuous soft robot to simultaneously achieve ...

Researchers have proposed process flow guides for 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine ...
