Soft Pneumatic Actuators with Integrated Sensing Researchers at MIT CSAIL have introduced a method to rapidly design and fabricate soft pneumatic actuators that include built-in sensing. These actuators can serve as a foundation for applications ranging from assistive wearables to robotics and rehabilitation technologies.

Researchers at Bioinspired Robotics and Design Lab, UC San Diego created a fully 3D-printed, six-legged robot that walks using compressed air. It has no electronics, motors, or batteries—just soft actuators powered by gas. Tested on various terrains, it operates continuously with a steady air supply. #robotics #3dprinting #scienceexperiments | Mashable
