Cobots - electric or pneumatic?
The simple design of pneumatic systems mean that the cobots are expected to be more durable and require less maintenance than their electric counterparts.
Pneumatic Robotics Meets Artificial Intelligence
The BionicSoftHand is pneumatically operated, so that it can interact safely and directly with people. Unlike the human hand, the BionicSoftHand has no bones. Its fingers consist of flexible bellows structures with air chambers.
The Pros and Cons of Pneumatic Robots
Like anything else, pneumatic robots have associated pros and cons. The case studies and other specifics here indicate how essential it is to evaluate the task at hand and determine whether the process is best carried out with a pneumatic system or another method
