If pneumatic technology is associated with high force and speed, electronic actuators conjure up notions of precision and control. Together, the two technologies broaden the scope for the field of ...

Soft-bodied robots move via pneumatic "muscles" that are selectively inflated or deflated. And while the muscles themselves may be soft and squishy, they're usually hooked up to hard, unwieldy pumps.

Humanoid robots now jog, jump, and balance mid-air, with Tesla Optimus 3 on display, helping you see where home and workplace ...

Soft robots still tend to rely on hard electronics to function, but a new invention might reduce that need for unyielding chips. UC Riverside researchers have developed pneumatic computer memory that ...

Soft robotics has been making waves in the technological field for its capacity to blend the intricacies of traditional robotics with the unyielding versatility of non-rigid structures. Amid this ...

Robotic hands do show a lot of promise for various applications, but their mechanical complexity still limits their possible uses. A new air-powered hand is much simpler, but still dextrous enough to ...

[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 ...

University of California San Diego engineers have created a soft quadruped robot that doesn't require any electronics to work. The robot only needs a constant source of pressurized air to perform all ...

Engineers have created a four-legged soft robot that doesn't need any electronics to work. The robot only needs a constant source of pressurized air for all its functions, including its controls and ...

GXO Logistics Inc. has deployed a new robotics system for air and ground security at one of its major distribution centers in Clayton, Ind., the company announced June 8. The DroneCore security ...

A fear of the dentist is usually caused by negative past experiences. But when it comes to children, that fear can be compounded by the dental professional’s chairside competence. Hard-won training ...
