Dexter, a system designed by Anybots,6 and Lucy, a system still under development at Vrije Universiteit Brussel,7 both operate with pneumatic actuation. This type of actuation mechanism is still being developed. Dexter is 175 cm tall, weighs 61 kg, and does not have arms. Lucy is only a pair of 150-cm-tall, 30-kg legs. The goal of these robots is to study the use of pneumatic actuation in bipedal walking robots.
