Pneumatic actuated soft robots attract increasing interest of the researchers due to the availability and simplicity in actuation. The soft robots driven by soft pneumatic actuators (SPAs) of various ...

However, from fiscal years 2013 to 2023, the FAA hired only two-thirds of the air traffic controllers called for by its staffing models. By fiscal year 2024, nearly a third of air traffic control ...

The electric mini pump revolution may have started with smaller, lesser-known brands, but the big ones have surely caught on by now. Recently, we’ve seen new hand-held air compressors launched from ...

A shortage of air traffic controllers at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) has increasingly forced federal officials to slow the pace of arriving flights, at times holding planes on the ...

Of the 290 FAA-operated air traffic control towers spread across America in 2023 (the most recent year with available data), 128 were considered understaffed, falling below the FAA’s 85% ...

Soft pneumatic actuators have seen applications in many soft robotic systems, and their pressure-driven nature presents unique challenges and opportunities for controlling their motion. In this work, ...
