“Fluidic Control Board Kit of Parts
Inspired by Open Source designs for soft robotics, our Fluidic Control Board Kit of Parts can be used to operate and control fluidic soft actuators. Rather than sourcing separate components from numerous vendors, this kit of parts is an all-in-one set, which provides everything necessary to assemble a fluidic control board. The control board allows efficient prototyping of various types of soft robotics actuators in a research lab, industrial, makerspace or school setting.” -

Article about why robots have human like faces with eyes… http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/11/12437000/why-are-all-these-robots-staring-at-me
“The answer is simple: emotions are easy, and robots are hard.”
My thoughts are that it should be about body language not, what I’m calling, “static aesthetics”.

Soft robots
- Hardware:
Calibration button for hardware – bumper switch
- Software:
Arduino
Speed – can change the freq, by not using PWM. accelstepper – library to control acceleration.
3 motors ok with arduino – more motors might be tricky if added due to the switching speed. Might be best to have an arduino per motor, or per pair.Interupts so that if the motor hits the switch the programme will shut down. This is initiated at setup and sits in the background.
Moulds / 3D printing:
Silicone objects:
