Engineers have shown that something as simple as the flow of air through open-cell foam can be used to perform digital computation, analog sensing and combined digital-analog control in soft ...

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 ...

Pressed by the need for computing systems able to operate in extreme environments and in industrial control applications with high efficiency, designers are pushing ...

This is a pretty cool project [Sebastian Morales] is working on – a 3D printed Pneumatic Multiplexer. Large interactive installations, kinetic art and many other applications require large numbers of ...

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 ...
