This report from Engineering360 examines three. One is a remotely operated robot that relies on a novel transmission combining hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Another is a pneumatically actuated robot hand that masters a new task by learning from past failed attempts to perform the task. And the third is a robot that performs surgeries under human supervision but without any human guidance. The surgical tool employed by this system is wielded by an off-the-shelf hydraulic arm.     View now   Create Sophisticated Control Logic Without Coding HydraForce, Inc.

View now   One-torque/Tool Valve Assembly In standard pneumatic and industrial automation applications, this valve system offers easy assembly thanks to a modular design and a low part count. (A video shows the assembly process.) In addition, the system features a notched component design said to make assembly mistakes nearly impossible, as well as electrical conductivity aimed at simplifying modifications and extensions.   Learn more   Modern Alchemy Using Hydraulic Pressure University of Manchester researchers say new two-dimensional materials can be created using what they call a graphene hydraulic "nano-press." How does it work? Certain compounds are sealed between two atomically thin sheets of graphene, which is stronger than diamond. This great strength allows extremely high pressures to be exerted on the compounds between the graphene layers, thereby changing them into new crystals.
