← Back to context Comment by mhb 6 hours ago Power use would be immense and it would be insanely slow. 2 comments mhb Reply giantg2 5 hours ago Power use might be high depending on configuration, but speed shouldn't be that slow using capacitors. Sufficiently strong pneumatics tend to require quite a bit of power too. jrflo 4 hours ago Considering 90%+ of the input energy goes to heat with NiTi actuators, Your walking robot would also double as a great space heater.
