Is the Arduino Uno Q the missing piece in your next project? With its hybrid design that fuses the precision of a microcontroller with the flexibility of a Linux-based single-board computer, this ...

The nights are drawing in for Europeans, and Elliot Williams is joined this week by Jenny List for an evening podcast looking at the past week in all things Hackaday. After reminding listeners of the ...

In a deal that surprised some industry observers, chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed to buy Arduino, which is best known for supplying microcontrollers to the DIY community. The acquisition, whose terms ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

Volkmann USA has earned the UL 508A certification for its pneumatic vacuum conveyor controls. Secured to support operator safety and help speed the conveyor installation process, the certification ...

Abstract: Pneumatic soft robotics is known for its high adaptability and strong load capacity, and the pneumatic control system is regarded as the neural system of pneumatic soft robots to transmit ...

The following project is an update of Gary D. Patterson’s “Simplified CTC signals” in the July 1988 issue of MR. Bringing the project up to date was a large endeavour. The block control project now ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

(Nanowerk News) In the future, soft robots will be able to perform tasks that cannot be done by conventional robots. These soft robots could be used in terrain that is difficult to access and in ...

As with nearly any actuation technology in industrial automation applications, there is no shortage of opinions around the use of electric or pneumatic motion control. These predilections tend to get ...
