Robotic arms

Robotic arms. Time exposure image of a researcher mimicking the movements of a pair of robotic arms. Instead of traditional electric motors, the arms 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 a researcher immersed in the world of robotics, as he skillfully mimics the movements of a pair of robotic arms. The innovative technology behind these remarkable limbs lies in their utilization of pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs), replacing traditional electric motors. These PMAs are soft tubes that can be pneumatically contracted to generate force, boasting impressive power-to-weight ratios and precise controllability. Remarkably similar to natural muscles, PMAs offer an efficient and biomimetic solution for creating advanced robotic systems. Taken at the esteemed Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Salford in the United Kingdom, this image captures a pivotal moment in a project aimed at exploring the immense potential of PMA technology by constructing a full humanoid robot. With blurred lights surrounding him, this male engineer embodies determination and ingenuity as he delves into cutting-edge research. The photograph not only highlights technological advancements but also underscores the interdisciplinary nature of scientific progress. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit to push boundaries beyond what was once deemed impossible. As we witness this prototype's dextrous capabilities under development, it becomes evident that we stand on the precipice of groundbreaking achievements in robotics and electrical engineering.
