The purpose of this work is to show two experimental applications of pneumatics to innovative robotic devices, in which are summarized most of the aspects here presented. After a short digression with examples of modern pneumatic solutions the author will concentrate on two research subjects describing the specifications and the solutions that were implemented. They are two different research themes in the field of robotics, which were carried out with the extensive use of pneumatics. The variety of topics is noticeable, the first project to be described is a six degrees of freedom (DoF) haptic interface that was fully actuated with pneumatic cylinders. The second project consists in a climbing robot that uses pneumatic elements even as its own structure; originally designed for home window cleaning; it comprises also an innovative drying solution based on the Coanda effect.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to show two experimental applications of pneumatics to innovative robotic devices, in which are summarized most of the aspects here presented. After a short digression with examples of modern pneumatic solutions the author will concentrate on two research subjects describing the specifications and the solutions that were implemented. They are two different research themes in the field of robotics, which were carried out with the extensive use of pneumatics. The variety of topics is noticeable, the first project to be described is a six degrees of freedom (DoF) haptic interface that was fully actuated with pneumatic cylinders. The second project consists in a climbing robot that uses pneumatic elements even as its own structure; originally designed for home window cleaning; it comprises also an innovative drying solution based on the Coanda effect.Pubblicazioni consigliate
