Anthropomimetic arm employing air muscles
Anthropomimetic arm employing air muscles, developed and made by the Shadow Robot Company, London, England, 2001
With its arm full of air muscles, this hand could grab a heavy drill, carefully pick up a teacup and safely shake hands with children. Each motion was achieved by groups of arm muscles working together, just like human ones do.
