Greetings Card : Robotic legs
Cards from Science Photo Library
Robotic legs
Robotic legs. Researcher mimicking the posture of a pair of robotic legs. Instead of traditional electric motors, the legs use pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) technology. PMAs are soft tubes that can be contracted pneumatically to produce force. They have high power-to-weight ratios. They are also efficient and precisely controllable. The properties of PMAs are similar to those of natural muscles. This is part of a project to explore the potential of the technology by building a full humanoid robot.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cutting-edge world of robotics and technological advancements in the field. In this image, a researcher at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Salford, UK is seen mimicking the posture of a pair of robotic legs. What sets these legs apart from traditional electric motors is their utilization of pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) technology. The PMA technology involves soft tubes that can be pneumatically contracted to generate force, offering high power-to-weight ratios. With remarkable efficiency and precise controllability, PMAs possess properties similar to natural muscles. This project aims to explore the immense potential of this innovative technology by constructing a full humanoid robot. The photograph captures an English engineer engrossed in developing this prototype as part of his research endeavors. The intricate details highlight his meticulous approach towards creating bipedal androids capable of walking with lifelike motion. Biomimetic principles are at play here as researchers strive to replicate human movement through advanced electrical engineering techniques. The University's commitment to research and development shines through in this groundbreaking exploration into pneumatic muscle actuators. This awe-inspiring image not only represents scientific progress but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity pushing boundaries beyond imagination. It symbolizes our relentless pursuit for innovation while unlocking new possibilities for future generations in the realm of robotics and automation.
