PNEUBOTICS is an American firm working in the field of engineering of soft robots controlled with air. From the site: http://www.pneubotics.com/ The possibilities for robots are endless in a future when robotic manipulators are easy to install, transport, deploy, and are safe around people. However, most of today’s robots are rigid metal machines that require large safety cages and heavy equipment to install. This limits robots to work in isolation, doing the same task over and over again, for months or years at a time. The Pneubotics team suggests that to move the robotics industry forward; the robot arm must be reinvented.
