Most experiments in flexible robot actuators are based around pneumatics, but [Ayato Kanada] and [Tomoaki Mashimo] has been working on using a coiled spring as the moving component of a linear ...

A study in solar tracker pneumatic actuator design for harsh environments has raised average efficiency of a test panel using ...

Air springs are rubber/fabric bellows that support and contain a column of compressed air. These single-acting pneumatic actuators have been used for more than 50 years across wide-ranging ...

Inexpensive robots of all forms are on the rise. Meka uses compliant actuators called series elastic actuators (SEAs) in nearly all joints of its robotic systems. A spring between motor and load ...
