Engineers at King’s College London created a fluid pressure circuit that enables robots to operate independently of electricity.
The team developed a reversible circuit with an adjustable valve that uses pressure signals to control soft robot s, reducing software strain.Engineers have developed an advanced method of transmitting complex instructions to robots without using electricity. This could potentially free up more processing space in the robot’s system for advanced functions.
According to a statement by the team, this “world first opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control centre, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software.”Soft robots, known for their flexibility and safety, have become useful in various applications, such as wearable devices and manipulators.
Some designs can remember or forget previous states, and others can create oscillators that work like a clock, enabling robots to perform tasks like swimming and climbing. However, certain approaches still require many valves and extra pressure regulation to fine-tune their operations. In order to solve this, scientists created a reversible circuit that incorporates an adjustable valve into the robot’s hardware. This valve uses pressure signals, which are akin to binary code, to control movements, much like a transistor in conventional circuits.
