Microfluidic and pneumatic logic systems are valuable for applications such as lab-on-a-chip devices, soft robotics, and factory automation. These systems are particularly advantageous when metal or electronic components are impractical or when there are constraints on the control system volume or w
Mobile robots of various types have been proposed for infrastructure inspection and disaster investigation. For such mobile robot applications, accessing the areas is of primary importance for missions. Therefore, various locomotive mechanisms have been studied. We introduce a novel mobile robot sys…
Small in-pipe robots are key to improving pipe inspection procedures, especially for narrow diameters. However, robotic locomotion in such spaces, namely achieving a high locomotion performance with a narrow and flexible mechanism, is difficult. The novel in-pipe locomotion mechanism proposed in thi
