Soft Robotics
It is not always possible to use hard, rigid, heavy, and large robots. In spaces with the lack of simple and easy access, limited spaces, and dangerous places and environments, the need to utilize the robots that are capable of doing delicate and precise things where hard and large robots (traditional robots) do not work, is felt. This need is being addressed by providing soft and light robots. Another advantage of soft robots over hard robots is that they have the ability to interact with living things. On top of that, the lower cost of designing and fabrication of soft robots than rigid robots, will raise the demand for these robots in the world in the future, and therefore, increase their ease of access.
Thanks to the unique capabilities of soft robots, the use of these types of robots is not limited. Research institutes, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, small and large industries, and even for personal use; you can contact us and propose your need. We will come up with ideas if the use of soft robots is technically feasible. We choose the best idea, then conceptualize it, afterward design and optimize it, and finally, to tackle your issue, we fabricate it as a soft or hybrid robot at a low cost.
Highly articulated Flexible Manipulator
Thanks to flexibility and deformability, flexible (hyper-redundant and highly-articulated) manipulators are capable of performing a wide variety of tasks. In places where it is not possible to take advantage of rigid and industrial robots due to space constraints, soft and flexible robotic arms can be used in many conditions and applications. Moreover, by mounting an end-effector on the tip of them, their ability enhances to perform many other tasks. In addition, these types of robots can have special uses. For example, sending them to the depths of the seas or oceans, sewers, pipes, under buildings, and other places and spaces for sampling and photography. We can design and fabricate robots that can enter and move in such spaces and can perform the desired mission.
Therefore, according to the given explanations, our field of work is not limited. In spaces where there is a need for soft robots, according to the patron's request, we can do all the steps from proposing ideas to manufacturing an appropriate soft or hybrid robot that performs the allocated tasks perfectly.
Soft Universal Grippers & Soft pneumatic Actuators
Soft universal grippers are a type of device that utilizes in both rigid and soft robots. As an end-effector, they can be used directly in any type of robot. They enable robots to perform the pick-and-place task of mainly soft, delicate, and even fragile objects. And by an appropriate intelligent control algorithm, they do not harm the objects.
Soft pneumatic actuators design and fabricate in several types including soft pneumatic linear actuators, soft pneumatic bending actuators, and soft pneumatic twisting actuators. Soft pneumatic actuators are an integral part of soft robots, and somehow, they define how the soft robot works. Designing the soft pneumatic actuators is at the center of the focus of the researches in the world's universities.
In Soft-Maker company, based on patrons' needs; we design, optimize, and fabricate any type of soft pneumatic actuators. Easily contact us and propose your issues, and let us tackle them.
