Ctrl-P: Control Pressure (v2.0)
By Clark Teeple
A custom pneumatic control system featuring smooth control of pressure at a high bandwidth.
This work was done as part of a research project at the Harvard Microrobotics Lab. Our goal was to build a system capable of smooth control of pressure to drive our custom soft robotic hands.
