 Pneumatic actuators use compressed gas to force the movement of pistons through the use of pumps and valves and so allow movement of the robotic part. Pneumatic actuators work on the same principles as hydraulic actuators using a series of valves, pumps and pistons to gnerate movement in the robot.

PROLOG

 PROLOG was developed in 1970. It is a non-procedural language which helps a system to learn and so is used for artificial intelligence. It uses sets and subsets which are added to as the system comes across new input. New input is compared to previous inputs and the various sets are added to as applicable.
