The aim of my master´s thesis "Design and Characterization of a Pressure Control Device for Soft Robotics and Microfluidics" was to develop a prototype of a pressure control device with the focus on enhancing a previous product, as well as generalising the system configuration to suit better into other potential applications. The areas of improvements included wider pressure range, increased flow rate, longer life-cycle, improved producibility and applicability into soft robotics.
The practical work involved mechanical-, electronics-, firmware-, control system-, driver software- and testing software design, as well as constructing and testing soft robotics actuators.

The prototype was characterized by testing pressure- and vacuum actuated soft robotics actuators. The movement of actuators was tracked by a custom-made software based on OpenCV.

The achievements of the thesis will be used in commercial purposes by ScienceMosaic in the future by enhancing the prototype into at least three products.
