Re: Fault Tolerant Robot Design
Fault tolerance can be applied to purely mechanical systems as well, take for example spring-biased pneumatic cylinders. These are double acting cylinders that have an internal spring that forces them into the design extended/retracted configuration.
As a team that uses a large number of pneumatic components we are constantly concerned with question of what happens if we loose pressure mid match.
