FESTO Robotic Arm
FESTO Corporation’s robotic arm combines pneumatic propulsion technology and an industrial control system in an unusual application. Its precise movements are the result of its so-called air muscles (fluid muscle MAS) that work in a smooth, jolt-free fashion just like a human muscle. The pneumatic hand is remote-controlled by an operator who inputs command signals via Internet. Its deployment can help minimize risks and dangers to human beings—for example, in salvage operations involving hazardous materials.
