20.500.12556/RUL-178097 Application-oriented mechatronic systems with pneumatic actuation Uporabniško usmerjeni mehatronski sistemi s pnevmatičnimi aktuatorji This paper introduces six novel mechatronic systems driven by pneumatic actuators, developed as in- structional models aimed at enhancing the education of mechanical engineering students in pneumatic power systems and automatic control. The initial system presented is an autonomous vehicle prototype powered entirely by compressed air, utilizing pneumatic artificial muscles for propulsion. Subsequently, the article presents three robotic manipulators actuated pneumatically: a delta robot equipped with a vac- uum gripper, a robotic arm with a flexible gripper, and a conveyor-based manipulator capable of obstacle avoidance. The final section focuses on two systems with potential industrial applications: a pneumatic screw drive mechanism and an automated pneumatic sorting machine designed for bean classification. Together, these six systems offer practical demonstrations of pneumatic technology in automation, pro- viding effective hands-on learning platforms for mechatronics and control engineering education. mechatronics pneumatic actuators robotic educational manipulators automatic control industrial automation mehatronika pnevmatski aktuatorji robotski izobraževalni manipulatorji avtomatsko krmiljenje industrijska avtomatizacija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-01-19 08:20:22 2026-01-19 08:20:28 2026-01-21 13:42:23 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 272-279 št. 5 Letn. 31 okt. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 531/533:007.52 1318-7279 257062659 situm-10-2025.pdf situm-10-2025.pdf 1 A6F67070984E7CCD5C8FEC05AB0A0761 11bcc1eb9fcfc503706c03a53b470d1dd45e0dc1d1e162046369f6d4990344b9 6560ca94-f507-11f0-bf92-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=225637 https://revija-ventil.si/wp-content/uploads/situm-10-2025.pdf 1 46e79770-f507-11f0-bf92-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=225636 Fakulteta za strojništvo Ventil 0 0 0
