Photographic Print : Robotic dog
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Robotic dog
Robotic dog being worked on by a researcher. This robot is modelled on a greyhound. Instead of traditional electric motors, it uses pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) technology. PMAs are soft tubes that can be contracted pneumatically to produce force. They have high power-to-weight ratios. They are also efficient and precisely controllable. The properties of PMAs are similar to those of natural muscles. This robot is part of a project to explore the potential of the technology. The field of engineering inspired by living things is called biomimetics. Photographed at the University of Salford, UK

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable robotic dog being meticulously worked on by a dedicated researcher. Modeled after the elegant and agile greyhound, this cutting-edge robot stands as an embodiment of innovation in engineering. What sets it apart from traditional robots is its utilization of pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) technology instead of conventional electric motors. The PMA technology employed in this robotic marvel involves soft tubes that can be pneumatically contracted to generate force. With high power-to-weight ratios, these PMAs offer exceptional efficiency and precise control, closely resembling the properties of natural muscles. As part of an ambitious project exploring the potential applications of this groundbreaking technology, this biomimetic creation represents the fusion between engineering and nature. Captured within the walls of the esteemed University of Salford in the United Kingdom, this photograph encapsulates both scientific ingenuity and artistic beauty. It portrays a female researcher passionately engaged in refining her prototype creation alongside her quadrupedal robotic companion. The image serves as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit to push boundaries beyond what was once deemed impossible. Intriguingly poised between reality and science fiction, this snapshot invites us into a world where robotics seamlessly blend with nature-inspired designs. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded that progress knows no bounds when guided by visionary minds seeking inspiration from living organisms for technological advancement.
