description <p>In pneumatic systems, the airflow circuit is both a driving source and a carrier of pressure, flow, and other information elements. In response to relying on electronic sensors and controllers to achieve closed-loop control in pneumatic systems, a theory of airflow proximity sensing and self-feedback drive was proposed to achieve closed-loop control. Based on the principle of airflow sensing, a new airflow proximity sensor was designed and studied. The structure was optimized using ANSYS software, and proximity sensing was achieved by increasing the pressure at the feedback port as the object approached. A self-feedback grasping pneumatic grasper was designed. The experimental results showed that the maximum grasping mass was 2.8 kg when the gas supply pressure was 0.1 MPa. The gripper could automatically sense and perform the grasping operation when it was close to the object.</p>
