Primary Function: Iqonga Lophuhliso Lwe-Pneumatics FlowIO liqonga lophuhliso lwe-pneumatics elingokulawula, ukusebenza kunye nokuva kweerobhothi ezithambileyo kunye nezinto ezidweliswayo (programmable materials). Imodyuli engundoqo idibanisa iivalve, iisenser, i-microcontroller, ibhetri kunye nesitshaji. Iimodyuli zempompo zidibana ngokumagnethi kwaye zingatshintshwa ngexesha lokusetyenziswa, ngezinto ezincinci, eziphakathi nezinkulu ezilungiselelwe iixinano kunye namazinga okuhamba ahlukeneyo. Iimodyuli zibonjelwe ngaphakathi kwezindlu ezishicilelwe nge-3D (3D printed snap-fit housings). Isixhobo sesoftware songeza iikhonkco (interfaces) ezomboniso yeenombolo kwifowuni yeselula nakwikhompyutha yedesktop, ulawulo lwe-Bluetooth kunye neekhonkco zohlelo. I-FlowIO ilungele zombini iiprojekthi zedesktop kunye nezo zinxitywayo.

Olu luyilo olumangalisayo luphumelele imbasa yoyilo lwesilivere kwizixhobo zesayensi kunye nokhuphiswano lwezixhobo zophando. Ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kufuneka ubone ipotifoliyo yoyilo lwesilivere esiphumeleleyo ukuze ufumane ezinye izinto ezintsha, ezintsha, izixhobo zokuqala nezobuchule zesayensi kunye nemisebenzi yoyilo lwezixhobo.
