HyQ: Hydraulic Quadruped Robot

HyQ is a fully torque-controlled Hydraulically actuated Quadruped robot (pronounced [hai-kju:]) developed in the Department of Advanced Robotics at the IIT. HyQ is designed to move over rough terrain and perform highly dynamic tasks such as jumping and running with different gaits (up to 3-4m/s). To achieve the required high joint speeds and torques, a combination of hydraulic cylinders and electric motors are actuating the robot’s 12 active joints.

PI USA - High-speed actuators for micro- and nano-dispensing

Piezo-driven mechanisms excel in in precision dispensing applications - they combine rapid response, high force, and nanometer precision. Ideal for accurate dispensing of highly viscous substances, like sealants, glues, or solder pastes.
