High quality soft electric actuators production and automation company right now

Air bladder production and automation firm? Not to be confused with the greek goddess Artemis, the origins of the name of Artimus Robotics came from its core technology, HASEL actuation technology, which provides artificial, muscle-like actuation that is being commercialized over a wide range of industries and applications. Muscle-like actuators such as the HASEL actuator have earned the name ‘Artificial Muscles’ thanks to their ability to reproduce the performance of natural muscles. The founding team of Artimus Robotics took inspiration from the term, “Artificial Muscles” to form a portmanteau of “artificial” and “muscle” which became coupled into “Arti-mus.”

Soft robotics is a subfield of robotics that aims to reproduce the versatility of biological organisms by incorporating soft or compliant components into robotic structures, increasing their adaptability and resilience. One key focus of soft robotics is the development of muscle-like soft actuators that leverage compliant materials. Artimus Robotics is the only soft robotics company that offers soft actuator technology that is electrically controlled, provides continuously variable output, operates at high speeds, and is silent. Artimus Robotics has applied its HASEL actuator technology to a wide variety of industries such as industrial automation, human machine interfaces, and defense.

HASEL actuator force and displacement output is variable and highly controllable with an analog voltage signal. HASEL actuators provide physical input to increase the transmission of information between humans and machine interfaces. Traditionally, robotic grips consisted of tough joints and extenders that could be dangerous if in contact with humans. Soft robotics attempts to ‘soften’ these robots, bringing more calculated and lifelike movements. Instead of applying brutal force to objects, the field of ‘soft robotics’ has been able to construct helpful gripping mechanisms that assist in settings such as elderly care and minimally-invasive surgery. See more information on linear actuators.

HASEL actuators provide direct conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy eliminating complexities such as valves and gears, increasing the ease of implementation. Artimus’ automation solutions allows you to avoid costly and difficult air systems with fully electric, soft, and analog actuators. HASEL actuators offer a variable physical response, giving you more control over your operation. In addition, you can easily gather critical feedback to ensure your operation is functioning properly and effectively.

The development kit also includes an assortment of peripheral accessories to help you use HASEL actuators, such as a stand and weight to demo the actuators, a user manual, and a control program to operate the power supply. Artimus Robotics has a world-class team of soft robotics engineers ready to help you customize your HASEL actuators to meet the specific needs of your use case. If your application requires a unique form factor, functionality, physical performance, or more, please reach out to our engineering team as they can meet your needs with in-house integration.
