This article describes an open-source hardware platform for controlling pneumatic soft robotic systems and presents the comparison of control schemes with on-off and proportional valves. The Pneumatic Soft Robotics Driver (PneuSoRD) can be used with up to one pump and pressure accumulator, 26 on-off valves, and 5 proportional valves, any of which can be operated in open or closed-loop control usin...
