Pneumatic Mucles for Festo Robots

Festo is a company from Germany, specialized in pneumatic and electromechanical systems, components and controls for industrial automation. They also do robots, but besides that pure boring industrial-robot stuff, they build robots that are far more. Look this video. The robots revel such a strong vision with a style so beyond. Simply something I've never seen before. The funky detail here are the pneumatic muscles that drive the robots with air.

Inchworm Robot

This bot uses Shape Memory Alloy to create that worm-like extracting behavior. The bristles on the "legs" of the worm have different directions and create different fractions. That's why the acrylic-worm moves forward.
