Electronics-free Analog Control Valve for Musculoskeletal Robots

In this study, an electronics-free analog control valve was developed to mechanically reproduce the reflex system of an animal. The device is capable of converting external forces into pneumatic forces and is robust and durable enough to be driven by air pressure as high as 1 MPa. Details of this valve are reported in the following journal article.
